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.

It just has a flavor that can't be beat. I’ve come to the conclusion that anything with chorizos in it is going to be good. It just has a flavor that can’t be beat.

Chorizo is one of my favorites and combining it with chickpeas and saffron sounds like the best thing ever. I rarely eat pasta, but this looks so tempting I might give it a try. Thanks.

It was wonderful! Our grocery store only carries Mexican-style chorizo, so we substituted Portuguese linguica. It worked well and added some of that spice you felt was missing. We also added the tomato like you suggested. It really helped add some extra flavor and color. All in all it was a fun, easy, and tasty meal! Thanks!
