Oh-so-easy Scallop and Chorizo Fettuccini

This tasty dish is so easy to make as it has very few ingredients; relying on the chorizo, garlic and scallops to give it a distinctive Spanish flavour. This is a variation on a Nigella Lawson recipe which uses even fewer ingredients (just scallops, chorizo, lemon and parsley). You need to eat this dish immediately so get your pasta cooked before you start.

Ingredients

500g scallops
3 spicy chorizo sausages (approx 15cm each)
½ cup white wine
Cayenne pepper (if you want extra heat!)
Garlic
Oil
Sprinkle of salt
½ cup cream

 

 

Method

Heat a little oil over high heat and cook chopped chorizo sausage for 2-minutes. Set aside the sausage and toss in the scallops. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne, and cook and stir about 3 minutes until lightly browned. Set aside.

Add the garlic and the wine to the pan and bring to the boil. Return the chorizo and scallops to the pan and add a little salt and the cream. Remove from heat and serve immediately over the cooked Fettuccini.
