Creamy Pancetta Carbonara with Silky Egg Yolk
Sautéed pancetta and chicken tossed with whole wheat pasta and zucchini in a velvety egg yolk sauce that feels incredibly indulgent and rich.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 oz pancetta
2 large egg yolks
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 cup zucchini
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, add the diced pancetta to a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until it begins to crisp and render its fat.
Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet with the pancetta and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Stir in the minced garlic and spiralized zucchini, sautéing for just 2 minutes until the zucchini is slightly softened but still bright green.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and grated parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the hot pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly into the skillet with the chicken and pancetta.
Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly stir in the egg yolk mixture and the reserved pasta water, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the yolks.
Season the dish with sea salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper before serving immediately.
