We didn't have any chickpeas, we added oven-roasted tomatoes, and we added some smoked paprika too. It was delicious! We're looking forward to leftovers tomorrow too. I agree, I would have liked more chorizo, but since we only had 1 link left in the fridge we weren't in a place to experiment with that tonight. Thanks for another great recipe!

I, like a commenter above, also substituted linguica sausage, but made as written with the addition of red pepper flakes. It is amazing! Tastes way harder to make than it is!

However - I was delighted to run across this recipe without any tomatoes. My wife and I just love this recipe. Thanks for giving me such a great gift!

I clicked "surprise me" today, and this came up - which is awesome, because, without knowing it existed, I made something similar for dinner last night, and am now enjoying the leftovers. Yellow summer squash sauteed with crumbled chorizo, over linguine, and topped with crumbled feta. HEAVEN. Just discovered your blog through a friend of a friend of a friend…and I think I’m in love.

Mine came out darker and more mixed-looking than Deb's lovely photo up there, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a poor college student and as such can't afford saffron, but I didn't miss it. Definitely, definitely double the chorizo and add red pepper flakes. I also threw in a couple little hot peppers. And spaghetti worked just fine! This recipe makes quite a huge amount, so prepare to take your leftovers to work and make everybody jealous at your exotic, restaurant-grade-but-homemade lunch. My boyfriend moaned about the almonds, but I thought they added a nice texture. Whatever floats your boat! This was a tasty, unusual recipe.

I really enjoy your beautiful blog and have gotten many great ideas from you. I made your fideos recipe tonight and I wanted to tell you about it. I followed your recipe and made a few of the changes you suggested. I added more chorizo, tomato and spinach to the recipe. I also sprinkled in some smoked paprika. Then, during the last few minutes, I added about 2 dozen littleneck clams to the pot. I have seen recipes before in Spanish and Portuguese cuisine that mixed shellfish and pork. The clams steamed open and all of their wonderful juices permeated the dish. It was really delicious! Thank you for sharing this and your many other wonderful recipes. You have been an inspiration to me! This is my first time commenting here, although I have been happily lurking for months.
