Method

1

Peel skin off chorizo, crumble into a frying pan and fry until crisp. Add your crushed garlic and a handful of rosemary leaves to the pan.

2

In a bowl, add your egg yolks and grated parmesan, with a generous amount of black pepper. Mix with a fork and set aside.

3

Get your pasta on and salt the water. Reserve a mug of pasta water.

4

Add a splash of pasta water at a time to the chorizo pan, bubble it down.

5

Once pasta is al dente add it to your chorizo. Take the pan off the heat. Fold the chorizo through the pasta.

6

Add the egg mixture and a little more of the pasta water. Keep folding it together and adding more until it becomes thick and creamy. Add a big squeeze of lemon juice. This lifts the dish perfectly. Serve with lots of cracked black pepper on top! Enjoy.
