Method
- Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water according to the pack instructions. Drain, reserving 100ml of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, remove the outer casing from the chorizo and roughly chop the sausage. Heat a splash of the oil in a large frying pan, then fry the chorizo for a few minutes, breaking it up as you cook, until crisp. Add the prawns and a splash more oil, then cook for 2-3 minutes more or until the prawns are
pink and cooked through. - Add most of the reserved pasta water to the pan, then add the pasta and stir to combine, adding a splash more water if needed.
- Serve in a deep pasta bowl, topped with the watercress (see tip) and a few shavings of manchego or cheddar, then drizzle over the remaining oil and add a good grinding of black pepper.
