15 Minutes...really?

I bought the "new" book from Jamie a while back and haven't been able to cook anything from the recipes. So I gave it a shot yesterday! Everybody who tried to cook some of his recipes knows, that you need quite a lot of ingredients. So I was really surprised when I read the recipes of the new book. They are quite simple and most of the things you have at home. 
It was easy cooking and didn't took as long as I prepared myself for. It took me only 20 minutes...so he is almost right with the time you need!:P Now I really like to do more of the recipes and I have already picked out some that I like to try.

Chorizo Carbonara
(adapted from Jamie's 15 Minute Meals)
Ingredients:
320g pasta
70g chorizo
1/2 fresh red chilli
2 sprigs of fresh roesmary (I don't like rosemary, thats why I left that out')
olive oil
4 gloves of garlic
1 large egg
1/2 a lemon (I will use less for the next time, because it was too sour for my taste)
2 heaped tbsp fat-free natural yoghurt
40g Manchego cheese

How to...:
1. Boil the pasta according to the packet instructions.
2. Finely slice the chorizo, chilli and rosemary leaves and put into the frying pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of pepper, then squash in the unpeeled garlic through a garlic crusher and move everything around until lightly golden.
3. Beat the egg, lemon juice, yoghurt and remaining finely grated Manchego together in a bowl. 
4. Drain the pasta, reserving a cupful of the starchy cooking water. Toss the past into the chorizo pan, remove from the heat and mix well with the creamy sauce, loosening with a splash of cooking water, if needed, then season to taste.
5. DONE and ENJOY!!!\
