Chorizo Carbonara

My freezer is getting emptier and emptier, because the move to Holland is moving closer and closer. With one of the chorizos I had in my freezer I made Chorizo Carbonara. 

Chorizo Carbonara, 1 person

1 chorizo, sliced
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/3 red chili, chopped
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 egg
3 tablespoon cream
a squeeze of lemon
little grated parmesan
penne for one person


Boil the pasta. In the mean time, put olive oil in a hot pan, fry the chorizo until brown on a medium heat, add chili, fry it for a while, add rosemary and the garlic, watch out so it don't get burned. Take it off the heat if needed. 


Whip the egg, mix with cream and add lemon. When the pasta is done, drain it, but safe some of the pasta water if the sauce gets dry. Add the pasta to the sausage mix, stir around, then add the cream and egg mixture, remove from the heat and stir until the pasta has a nice creamy coating on it, don't scramble the eggs! Add the parmesan and stir a bit more - then serve! Season with salt if necessary.
