Creamy Pancetta Carbonara with Silky Egg Yolk
Pan-seared chicken and crispy pancetta tossed with whole wheat pasta in a velvety egg yolk sauce, finished with a sprinkle of sharp parmesan and cracked black pepper.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 oz pancetta
1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1 cup zucchini noodles
1 large egg yolk
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, place the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy and the fat has rendered.
Add the cubed chicken breast to the skillet with the pancetta and sauté until golden brown and cooked through.
Stir in the minced garlic and zucchini noodles, sautéing for just 1-2 minutes until the zucchini is slightly softened but still vibrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and grated parmesan cheese until smooth.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet with the chicken and pancetta.
Remove the skillet from heat immediately; pour in the egg mixture and reserved pasta water, tossing quickly to create a creamy, silky sauce.
Season with sea salt and black pepper before serving immediately in a warm bowl.
