This dish just makes sense – chorizo is an epic alternative to Guanciale (which is cured pork cheek – a traditional ingredient in Carbonara). Lemon juice provides a pleasant lift at the end.

    Recipe amount is too much Chorizo, would suggest half as it is very strong. Adding mushroom and onion works to pad it out a bit more.

    Hello! Would it possible to make this as a meal prep or does it work best made fresh?

    Hi Grace! This one is best eaten fresh because of the eggs in the sauce. Leaving it for later will effect the texture. But you can check out our selection of favourite batch cooking recipes here: https://www.mob.co.uk/recipes/collections/all-batch-cooking-recipes

    Really tasty but way too much - I adjusted the quantity to 2 but there was still enough for 3-4 adults
