Noodles: Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the packet. Drain and refresh in cold water, then drain again. Toss with a little olive oil and set aside.
Mussels: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and cook the fennel, capsicum and onion with a pinch of salt until tender. Add the chorizo, garlic, paprika and chilli and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the stock, mussels and spinach and turn to coat in the onion mixture. Turn the heat to high, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the mussels start to open.
