Bring to boil a large pot of salted water—add the Tagliatelle/Spaghetti—cook for 8-9 mins or until ‘al dente’ (‘to the tooth’)...cooked firmly to bite— drain in colander—reserve ½ cup of the cooking liquid—return the pasta to the pot—drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil & coat evenly
As the pasta water comes to boil, at the same time start preparing the Pork Chorizo Bolognese— in a large skillet or wok, heat the Extra Virgin Olive Oil—fry the Rosemary leaves for abt 30 seconds or until crisp—remove & set aside
To the same oil, fry on high heat the onions, the chopped/crumbled/blended chorizo, chilli flakes, garlic, salt & black pepper—keep stirring for 4- 5 mins or until golden & crispy
Now add the wine or balsamic vinegar into the pot & cook for abt 30 seconds—add in the tomatoes & brown sugar & bring all to a simmer—cover with lid & reduce to medium heat—cook for another 6- 8 mins or until the liquid reduces
Add the reserved cooking liquid from the pasta to the chorizo mix & combine properly

Top the pasta with the hot prepared Chorizo mix & the grated Parmesan or Buffalo Mozzarella shreds
Sprinkle the crispy Rosemary leaves, some Sea Salt & freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Garnish with a few pitted Black Olives or Cherry Tomatoes & a sprig of Fresh Basil Leaves
