Spanish Chorizo Spaghetti Carbonara
This Spanish Chorizo Spaghetti Carbonara is a super-tasty Spanish twist on the Italian classic, made with lots of zesty Spanish chorizo and Manchego cheese.

Barclay and I are both huge fans of Manchego cheese. Back in the States, it was always our main splurge at Costco, and we loved adding it to cheese boards, bringing it along on picnics, adding it to salads, quiches, pastas, soups…you name it. Big fans.
So as you can imagine, moving to the Land of Manchego was a big of a bit of a dream come true for us. And as I walked out the door that first morning here to make my inaugural trip to our neighborhood grocery store, I promised Barc that I would bring us home a nice big wedge and some cava to celebrate our big move. Fast forward a half hour, and I was still standing there at the store reading the labels on a zillion different kinds of cheeses…and could not find the Manchego. I saw just about every other kind of cheese imaginable, from the gouda to brie to cheddar, pecorino, provolone, mascarpone, and so many more that I recognized…but zero Manchego.
That said, I did notice an entire wall of cheeses that looked familiar, but there was no mention of the name of the cheese packages themselves. Only descriptions like “curado” (cured), “semi-curado” (semi-cured), “viejo” (old/aged) and “gran reserva” (grand reserve).  You can guess where this was going.
Turns out…they were ALL MANCHEGO.  Like, an entire wall of Manchego. Nearly as big as the entire wall devoted to Spanish hams and chorizos on the other side of the store. All beautifully displayed there, row after row, on the shelves. All just a fraction of the prices we used to pay in the States. And all totally, irresistibly delicious.
Spain, man.  ððð
Anyway, suffice it to say, we have been bringing home no shortage of Spanish cheeses and hams and chorizos ever since.  And while they end up on our cheese boards about 90% of the time (more ideas on those to come!), I’ve also been having fun playing around with them in actual recipes. And in honor of [us being in Rome today]( as this post goes live, it seemed like the perfect time to share with you my Spanish twist on one of my all-time favorite classic Roman recipes…
…spaghetti carbonara!
Made with (yep) all of the Spanish chorizo and Manchego a heart could desire. And even better, ready to go in just about 20 minutes. Perfecto.
