Ingredients
Method
1.Remove chorizo from their casings; finely chop sausage meat until it resembles mince.
2.Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan over high heat; cook chorizo, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes or until golden. Add garlic; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; cover to keep warm.
3.Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender. Drain, reserving ¼ cup (60ml) cooking liquid. Return pasta to pan; cover to keep warm.
4.Half-fill a large frying pan with water; bring to the boil. Stir in vinegar. Break one egg into a cup, then slide into pan; repeat with remaining eggs. When all eggs are in pan, return water to the boil. Cover pan, turn off heat; stand for 4 minutes or until a light film of egg white sets over yolks. Remove eggs, one at a time, using a slotted spoon; place spoon on paper towel-lined plate briefly to blot up any poaching liquid.
5.Working quickly, add chorizo mixture to pasta with half the parmesan, remaining oil and enough reserved cooking liquid to create a coating consistency; season to taste.
6.Serve pasta topped with eggs, remaining parmesan and parsley.
Try to get the freshest free-range eggs available when poaching as the whites will set better and keep their shape.
