Creamy Pancetta Carbonara with Silky Egg Yolk
Whole wheat noodles and zucchini ribbons are tossed in a velvety egg yolk sauce with crispy pancetta and golden sautéed chicken for a rich, savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1 cup zucchini
3.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 oz pancetta
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, spiralize the zucchini into long ribbons and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced pancetta until the fat renders and it becomes crispy.
Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet with the pancetta, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the zucchini ribbons to the pan for 2 minutes to soften slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with the grated parmesan cheese and two tablespoons of the hot pasta cooking water.
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet, then remove the pan from the heat immediately.
Pour the egg mixture over the warm pasta and toss vigorously to create a creamy, silky sauce without scrambling the eggs.
