Spicy King Prawn and Chorizo Tagliatelle

Once the chorizo has started to brown, add the shallot and pepper and fry until just soft, 3-4 mins (add a little oil if needed). Continue to stir while it cooks. Add the garlic and sun-dried tomato paste, then stir-fry until fragrant, 30 secs.

Add the finely chopped tomatoes and sugar (see ingredients for amount), chicken stock paste and chilli flakes (use less if you don't like too much heat) to the pan. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 5-6 mins.

Meanwhile, add the tagliatelle to the boiling water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 3-4 mins. Roughly chop the chives. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil for the dressing (see ingredients for amount), the cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt, pepper and sugar (if you have any). Set the dressing aside for now. Once the tagliatelle is cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the prawns and cook for another 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat. Add the tagliatelle to the sauce and toss to coat.
