INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

1 oz whole wheat spaghetti

0.5 oz pancetta

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.25 cup green peas

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente according to package directions.

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced chicken breast until golden and cooked through.

• 3

  Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside; in the same pan, add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy and the fat has rendered.

• 4

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg yolk, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and pale.

• 5

  Add the frozen green peas to the boiling pasta water during the final 2 minutes of cooking time.

• 6

  Reserve approximately 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and peas.

• 7

  Turn off the heat in the skillet and return the cooked chicken, pasta, and peas to the pan with the pancetta.

• 8

  Working quickly, pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta while tossing constantly, adding a splash of reserved pasta water as needed to create a glossy, silky sauce.

• 9

  Season with sea salt to taste and serve immediately in a warmed bowl.
