mmm yum pasta with clams and chorizo with cider and make sure you have some bread to mop it up

this is seriously good

Make it now. Don't worry if it isn't dinner time, you will enjoy this any time of the day.

Make it for someone you love or someone you want to love you because it is that good.

Thank you again to Gourmet Traveller for this recipe.

As usual I cannot stick to the recipe, so have posted it with the changes I made.

I halved the amount of clams to make this for two, but kept the other ingredients in the original ratio to end up with a delicious soupy pasta. The sauce needs to be mopped up with bread. The flavour is too good to waste.

I made it for two people, but there was enough for a third person (male) and I think he was satisified.

Serves 2 generously

2 tbsp olive oil

1 spanish onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

2 tsp chilli flakes

1 fresh hot chorizo sausage, chopped

2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped

Juice of half a lemon

3oomL cider (we used pear cider)

600g clams, soaked for 15 minutes in fresh water

1/4 cup parsley, roughly chopped

Pepper and salt, to taste

Cooked Angel hair pasta

Fresh bread and butter, to serve

Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Gently saute the onion, garlic and chilli until softened. Add the chorizo. Cook until brown (5-7 minutes). Add the tomatoes and cook until thickened (6-8 minutes). Add the lemon juice, cider and clams. Bring to the boil, put a lid on top, then cook for 6-9 minutes or until the clams are open. Stir through the pasta and parsley and enjoy.
