Ingredients

• 120g pack diced chorizo

• 150ml hot veg stock
• 250g spaghetti
• Zest of 1 lemon

Method

1. Heat a frying pan, and cook the chorizo over a low heat for 5 mins, to release the oil. Tip into a bowl, along with all the oil.
2. Heat the pan again, add 1 tbsp of the olive oil and when hot, add the squid and cook for a few mins, until browned. Take out and set aside.
3. Add the rest of the oil, onion, peppers and garlic to the pan and cook for about 5 mins, until softened. Stir in the paprika, cook for a min, add the chickpeas and cook for 2 mins. Pour in the stock, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 8-10 mins.
4. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti until just tender. Add the chorizo (keeping back the oil) and squid to the sauce to warm through. Drain pasta and divide between 4 dishes. Spoon the sauce on top. Scatter with lemon zest and parsley and drizzle the chorizo oil over.
