Try this slow cooker paella recipe then check out our classic paella, chorizo risotto and vegan paella. In Sardinian paella the rice is replaced by fregola – a tiny dried pasta that looks like giant couscous. Fregola can be quite hard to get hold of so we’ve used orzo, though any tiny pasta shape will work.
