Chorizo is not considered especially mild, though, generally – did you use the chorizo?
Added fresh basil, Asiago cheese, and used garlic olive finishing oil before serving. Red pepper flakes at end and sauteed garlic. Pepped it up nicely.
Fixed this tonight but used lump crab meat-very tasty. Tomorrow will try it with shrimp and Italian sausage. What a quick and delicious meal!
So easy, so good. Add some chives if you have them. Works with lobster, shrimp, crab. Noms.
This is great! I steamed two lobster tails in a large pot, then added water to that broth to cook the spaghetti. Removed meat from shells and added shells back to pot until ready to cook spaghetti, removed shells and added spaghetti. Cooked chorizo and frozen peas, added lobster at very end before combining with the pasta, a small amount of oil, and some of the pasta water. Nice on hot night with a salad.
Mexican or Spanish chorizo? Because there’s a difference. NYT rarely differentiates.
I would say Spanish chorizo, but that is my personal choice only.
