Method

step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Add the almonds (40 g) and hazelnuts (40 g) to a lined baking tray and roast for 5-10 minutes, until the nuts are golden brown. Leave aside to cool.
step 2
Add the toasted bread (1 slice) to a blender along with the toasted nuts, garlic (1 clove), tomatoes (3) and sherry vinegar (1 tbsp). Blitz until chunky, then add in the olive oil (125 g) and smoked paprika (1 tbsp). Blitz once more until combined, but not smooth.
step 3
Add the porcini mushrooms (15 g) to a heatproof bowl and cover with 500ml of boiling water.
step 4
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large frying pan (30cm) over a medium-high heat. Add the macaroni (150 g) and fry for about 5 minutes, or until it turns golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
step 5
Add another glug of olive oil to the pan, increase the heat and add the chopped brown onion (1/2) and a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add the quartered exotic mushrooms (80 g) and garlic paste (1 tsp) and cook for 3-5 minutes.
step 6
Drain the porcini mushrooms (reserve the water) and add to the pan. Grate the tomatoes (2) into a bowl, then add to the pan with the sweet paprika (1/2 tsp).
step 7
Add the porcini mushroom liquid, bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half. Season with salt, to taste. Stir in the macaroni, cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed.
step 8
Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the asparagus (2 packs) to a dry pan, and cook for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through and golden.
step 9
Remove the fideuà from the heat and leave to stand, uncovered, for 1 minute, then serve on plates, topped with two spears of asparagus. Serve the remaining asparagus on the side and top with the xató.
