Fidueà is a traditional Spanish dish cooked similarly to paella but made from short lengths of toasted pasta in place of the rice. The pasta classically used, fideos, is replicated here by snapping spaghetti into small pieces.

Ingredients

  • 300g spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp Essential Olive Oil
  • 2 clove/s garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 classic vine tomatoes, coarsely grated, skin discarded
  • 600ml fish stock, made with a stock pot
  • Pinch saffron strands
  • 400g pack frozen fruits de mer
  • ¼ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves chopped

  1. Taking a few strands at a time, break the spaghetti into small pieces roughly 2-3cm long (or smaller if you wish).

  2. Heat a large, dry sauté or frying pan over a high heat, add the pasta and toast for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Tip out into a bowl.

  3. Add the oil to the pan over a high heat and stir fry the garlic for 30 seconds until it starts to colour. Stir in the paprika and cook for a few seconds more.

Sprinkle with parsley and serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Cook’s tip

Serve with a crisp green salad on the side, or you may like to add shelled fresh or frozen peas or broad beans for the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
