SUBLIME Spaghetti
Boil a full kettle. Fill a pot for the pasta with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a high heat. Once boiling rapidly, cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
CRISPY Chorizo
Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the chopped Chorizo and fry for 4-5 minutes until crispy, shifting occasionally. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
THE CARBONARA IS COMING TOGETHER
Heat the Butter in the microwave or in a pot over the stove until completely melted. Set aside. In a heat-proof bowl, add 1 egg yolk. Whisking the yolk constantly, drizzle in the melted butter very slowly. Once fully incorporated, stir in the peas, the fried Chorizo pieces, seasoning, and ⅓ of the grated cheese. Mix until fully combined. Add the cooked Spaghetti and toss until fully coated in the sauce. Loosen with the reserved pasta water if necessary.
SIMPLE SALAD
In a bowl, dress the salad leaves with a light drizzle of oil and some seasoning.
PASTA LA VISTA!
