Method

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large high-sided skillet set over medium heat; cook chicken for 3 to 5 minutes or until slightly browned all over. Stir in sausage, tomato paste, onion, red pepper, garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, and saffron (if using); cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 3

Stir in wine; bring to boil. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until most of the liquid evaporates. Stir in diced tomatoes and broth; return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken and sausage are cooked through and sauce is thickened.

Step 4

Add peas to skillet; cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Add pasta and parsley to skillet; toss until well coated.

Tip

Replace chicken with shrimp if desired.
