Creamy Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Sautéed pancetta and chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety egg and parmesan sauce, finished with sweet green peas.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
0.5 oz pancetta
1 large egg
3 large egg whites
0.5 oz parmesan cheese
1 cup frozen peas
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 chickpea pasta until al dente, reserving 0.25 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, sauté the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy.
Add the minced garlic and frozen peas to the skillet with the pancetta, cooking for 2 minutes until the peas are bright green and tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.
Reduce the skillet heat to low, add the cooked pasta, and slowly pour in the egg mixture while stirring constantly to create a creamy sauce.
Gradually add the reserved pasta water as needed to reach your desired consistency, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
