Servings: 4- Creamy chorizo carbonara is a delicious twist on the classic Italian dish. This version combines the rich, velvety texture of a traditional carbonara sauce with the smoky, spicy flavors of chorizo. The dish features al dente pasta coated in a creamy sauce made from eggs, cheese, and black pepper, with crispy bits of chorizo adding a delightful crunch and a burst of flavor. It's a perfect fusion of creamy, savory, and slightly spicy elements, creating a comforting yet exciting meal. Follow Brandon for more recipes!

- ½ pound spaghetti

- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

- In a bowl, mix together the whole egg, egg yolks, pecorino and black pepper until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, until the chorizo begins to get crispy.
