Creamy Pancetta Carbonara with Silky Egg Yolk
Chickpea spaghetti tossed in a velvety emulsion of tempered eggs and aged parmesan, punctuated by crispy bits of salty pancetta.
INGREDIENTS
1.75 oz Chickpea spaghetti
0.75 oz Diced pancetta
1 large Egg
1 large Egg yolk
0.25 cup Liquid egg whites
1.25 oz Grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.13 tsp Sea salt
1 tsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the sea salt to season the water.
Cook the chickpea spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, ensuring you reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, place the diced pancetta in a cold skillet over medium heat and cook until the fat renders and the meat becomes golden and crispy.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg yolk, liquid egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until the mixture is uniform.
Turn off the heat on the skillet containing the pancetta and add the drained pasta, tossing quickly to coat the strands in the rendered fat.
Slowly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta while stirring constantly with tongs to create a creamy, emulsified sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Gradually add the reserved pasta water one tablespoon at a time, continuing to toss until the sauce reaches a perfectly silky consistency.
Garnish the carbonara with finely chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately while warm.
