Ingredients
200g linguine
8 bodies & heads of calamari, cleaned
100g chourizo
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 red chillies, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Instructions
Cook the linguine in salted water until al dente. Remove from water (reserve 1/3 cup of the pasta water) and set aside. Fry the onion, chourizo and chili in olive oil in a wide saucepan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and fry another 3 minutes, until onions have softened and the oil from the chourizo is visible in the pan. Add the wine and the calamari and cook another 2 minutes. Then add the linguine, the pasta water and juice from half the lemon and toss over the heat for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat, add the parsley and a glug of olive oil. Season to taste with salt, pepper and the paprika. Mix well and serve immediately.
