Tips & tricks
Use a little less salt in the pasta water if the chorizo is very salty. This makes it easier to balance the dish when Parmesan and the pan fat also add lots of flavor.
Did you know?
Chorizo gives pasta a lot of flavor quickly because the sausage releases spiced fat in the pan as it crisps. This fat almost works as a sauce base together with butter, Parmesan and pasta water. When the starch from the pasta water binds with the cheese, the dish gets a creamy texture without cream.
