Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I accidentally used the wrong kind of chorizo, but it worked pretty well all the same. If you, like me, end up using the loose chorizo cube instead of the smoked, cured kind, reduce the salt in the pasta water a bit. I added some frozen corn and spinach at the end for a vegetable component, I really liked the result.

    Oooooo the chorizo is such a fun take on carbonara! Really loved it and the smidge of lemon zest at the end was perfect. I don’t know that I needed the chickpeas but they add some substance
