Instructions 

To cook the pasta dish:

To begin, place the pasta into the lidded pot, cover it with salted water and cook according to the package instructions.

Finely slice the chorizo, chilli and rosemary and then place a frying pan over medium heat.

Add the three ingredients to the frying pan alongside one teaspoon of olive oil, then season with pepper.

Squash the garlic and add it to the pan, then keep moving everything around until it is fully cooked and lightly golden.

In a bowl, beat the egg, lemon juice and yoghurt and grated Manchego cheese together to make the carbonara sauce.

Once fully cooked, drain the pasta and keep a cupful of the starchy pasta water. Toss the pasta in the same frying pan with the chorizo.

Remove the frying pan from the heat, add the creamy carbonara sauce, and also add a splash of the pasta sauce.

If needed, season to taste with salt and pepper.

Your mouth-watering creamy carbonara is now ready to serve.

To make the salad: 

Place the pine nuts in the frying pan for a few minutes, tossing often to make sure they do not burn.

Finely slice the stalk ends of the chicory and place in the serving bowl. Peel and slice the clementines, then add them to the bowl alongside the baby spinach and scatter a few mint leaves on top.

Grate some Manchego cheese over the salad and scatter with the hot pine nuts.

Make the salad dressing with extra virgin olive oil and honey in a mug, season and then set aside.

Dress and toss the salad, then serve it alongside the creamy pasta.
