Preparation steps
Cut the chorizo into approximately 1/2-inch cubes. Cook in a dry non-stick pan over medium heat until crispy.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the rendered chorizo oil and drain the chorizo pieces on paper towels.
Rinse the parsley, pat dry and roughly chop the leaves with a large knife.
Cook the pasta according to package directions in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente. Finely grate the Parmesan.
Add Parmesan, eggs and creme fraiche to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine the ingredients.
Drain pasta in a sieve, reserving about 4 tablespoons of the cooking water.
Quickly combine pasta, reserved cooking water and beaten egg mixture. Gently fold in chorizo, reserved chorizo oil and parsley.
