Carbonara Orzo with brown butter

Method

1. Start by prepping your dried pasta, olive oil, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the leeks and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the carbonara and let it coconut, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the almonds and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with chili crisp right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
