From your kitchen:
- Oil (cooking, olive or coconut)

PASTA, PRONTO!
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 2-3 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
CHECK THE CHORIZO
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chorizo until crispy, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
MMMUSHROOMS
Return the pan to medium-high heat. Fry the sliced mushrooms until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.
EGG-CELLENT SAUCE
Heat the Butter in the microwave or in a pot over the stove until completely melted. Set aside. To a heat-proof bowl, add 1 egg yolk. Whisking the yolk constantly, drizzle in the melted butter very slowly. Once fully incorporated, mix through ⅓ of the grated cheese. Add the cooked pasta, the chorizo, and the mushrooms. Toss until coated. Loosen with the reserved pasta water, if necessary.
IT’S THAT TIME!
Dish up the carbonara pasta. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Garnish with the parsley and drizzle over the lemon juice (to taste). Give it a final crack of black pepper. Amazing work, Chef!
