Ingredients

  • 2 handfuls dried spaghetti
  • 1/4 pound cured Spanish chorizo, roughly chopped
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 25 +/- grams butter
  • 1 pinch Thyme, dried or fresh
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • cracked black peper

Directions

  1. 1
    In a sauce-pan, bring water to a boil and cook spaghetti to taste.
  2. 2
    While spaghetti is cooking, mix in a bowl the butter, egg yolks, parmesan cheese, and thyme together. It should be the consistency of a thick cake batter. If not, add a bit more butter.
  3. 3
    Drain the pasta and set aside. Add the chorizo to the sauce pan over a medium heat, no need for oil. Once the chorizo is lightly brown, turn the heat to low.
  4. 4
    Add the pasta and butter egg mixture to the pan quickly. Toss until coated then remove from heat.
  5. 5
    Serve with fresh cracked black peper.
