Title: Chorizo Carbonara
Post by: judydawn on March 18, 2013, 06:10:18 am

Name of Recipe: Chorizo Carbonara - my version of a recipe from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Number of People: 2 serves
Ingredients:

150g thin spaghetti
1200g boiling water
salt to taste

1 tblspn olive oil
150-175g chorizo mix (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=12838.msg272837#new).
2 large egg yolks mixed with 150mls cream
2 tblspns chopped parsley
sea salt & ground black pepper to taste
Parmesan to serve (opt)

Preparation:

Place a heavy based frying pan on the stove-top to heat up. Place the boiling water & salt into the TM bowl, break the spaghetti into half and add to the bowl.  Cook 8-10 mins/100^o/reverse/speed 1.

Add the oil to the pan and fry the chorizo mixture, breaking it up as you go with the edge of a wooden spatula until you have a pan of coarse, crisp chorizo crumbs.

When the pasta is cooked, drain though a sieve and return the pasta to the TM bowl along with the chorizo pieces, the parsley and the egg/cream mixture.

Reheat 2 mins/100^o/reverse/speed 1.

Taste for seasonings and add S & P if required.  

Serve sprinkled with parmesan if desired.

inskiwinski - Tried this one! It was so easy to make and tasted delicious! Thanx!

kmw - was a hit with DH & DD, simple to make. It was a nice change to tomato/cheesy base sauces but for me I still prefer a tomato base sauce, which is funny as this is all I use to eat when I was younger.

Catt - This was a hit both hubby and son wanted seconds.

This looks and sounds delicious. I missed the chorizo recipe the first time around and we love these flavours so will definitely be adding to my must have list. Do you think the same result would be achieved using bought pork mince?

If you make it a spicy pork mince mixture Wonder, I can't see why not.

Made this for dinner tonight and was a hit with DH & DD, simple to make. It was a nice change to tomato/cheesy base sauces but for me I still prefer a tomato base sauce, which is funny as this is all I use to eat when I was younger.

Having seconds is certainly a good sign of liking something.
