Paella fans will love this Valencian Prawn and Chorizo Fideuà, created by MasterChef winner and OcadoLife regular Lisa Faulkner. A Spanish fideo (noodle) recipe, it uses thin pasta noodles instead of rice to soak up the rich Mediterranean flavours. Use specialty fideu pasta if you like, or follow Lisa’s nifty trick of breaking up vermicelli pasta into small pieces. To serve, scatter with flat-leaf parsley and add lemon wedges on the side for an authentic finish. Looking for more Lisa Faulkner recipes? Look no further.Time and servings
