The food was greaaaat absolutely delish, took no longer than 25 mins

lets make it! (Serves 2)

You will need:

• Spaghetti

• Cooking chorizo

• 2 eggs

• Parmesan

• 1 lemon

Process:

• Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti to the pot and cook until al dente (or cook according to the packet instructions). Drain the pasta, but keep some of cooking water.

• Slice the chorizo & add the slices to a pan and fry for 4-5 minutes, turning once, until starting to crisp. Remove from the heat.

• Crack the eggs into a bowl, then grate the parmesan into another bowl and beat 3 tbsp of it into the eggs.

• Grate the zest from the lemon. Tip the drained pasta onto the chorizo in the pan and toss well. Add the egg and parmesan mixture and the grated lemon zest, then toss until the mixture thickens but doesn’t scramble.

• Use a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen the mixture. Squeeze over a little lemon juice, then serve sprinkled with the best cheese (parmesan) and some freshly ground black pepper & there you have a quick and delicious meal!
