chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey chorizo

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey chorizo reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami.

Start with a little bit of olive oil in a big skillet.

Add chorizo links to the skillet and break it up using a potato masher until crumbly and browned.

While chorizo is cooking, add 1 pound of spaghetti to salted boiling water.

Once chorizo is cooked through, add smoked paprika and fresh ground pepper to the skillet and toss.

Carefully take about half a cup of pasta water and add it to the chorizo skillet, then turn off the heat.

Transfer cooked spaghetti to the skillet with chorizo and add a little bit of the egg and cheese mixture, stirring vigorously to combine without scrambling the eggs.

Continue adding more pasta and more egg and cheese mixture, stirring constantly to combine.
