Add more oil to pan, if necessary.  Stir in paprika and cook 30 to 60 seconds, then add tomatoes.  Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add stock and bring to boil.

  

Using a mortar and pestle, pound garlic, parsley and saffron together.  Stir in a little hot stock, then stir into pan and boil 2 minutes.  Add spaghettini , mussels and claims and boil until pasta has absorbed most of the stock and is just tender.

Answer 2

Gazpacho

- 2 kilos of ripe red tomatos.

- One green pepper.

- 2 cloves of garlic.

- One cucumber.

- Salt.

- A little wet bread.

- Vinegar, aprox. 1/4 of glass.

- Olive oil, aprox. 1/2 of glass.

- Water, aprox. 3 glasses.

Scald the Tomatos and peel them, then beat all the ingredients with the mixer. If you don't want to scald the tomatos, you can beat all the ingredients and then you must pass it into the chino (i don't know this word in english, is like a metal strainer with a little holes, then the peel of the tomatos not pass).

Be careful with the first form, don't  cook the tomatos.

The gazpacho is like a cold soup.
