Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the grill to high (240C)
- Line a baking tray with silver foil
- Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a large frying pan, two medium bowls, a sieve, a measuring jug & a grater
Do the prep
- Dice the half pack of chorizo into 1cm chunks. Thinly slice the onion
- Finely grate the hard Italian cheese
- In one of the medium bowls, using a fork, whisk together the egg, soft cheese and three-quarters of the grated cheese. Season generously with salt and pepper
Cook the pasta & fry the chorizo
- Add the fusilli to the saucepan and simmer for 10-11 mins, until cooked
- Heat the large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chorizo and onion and fry for 7 mins, stirring frequently, until golden
Grill the broccoli
- Meanwhile, trim the broccoli and cut into thirds
- Add the broccoli to the foil-lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 8-9 mins, until golden and softened. In the final 1 min, add the almonds to the tray to toast
Build the dish
- When the pasta is cooked, reserve 75ml of pasta water (40ml for 1 person), then drain
- Toss the pasta into the chorizo pan
- Remove the pan from the heat, then immediately stir through the egg mixture and half of the reserved pasta water
- Toss together until the sauce coats the pasta evenly and the egg mixture is cooked through
- Add a splash more of the reserved water if it becomes too dry. Season to taste
Toss & plate up
- In the other medium bowl, toss together the rocket, broccoli, almonds and the half pack of maple mustard dressing
- Share the carbonara between bowls with the broccoli almond salad alongside. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese
