Creamy Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Al dente spaghetti tossed in a velvety egg and parmesan sauce with golden chicken and crispy pancetta for a rich, savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 oz pancetta
1 large egg
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Boil the spaghetti in a pot of salted water until al dente, ensuring you reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced pancetta until it becomes crispy and golden, then remove it with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the diced chicken breast to the same skillet and sauté in the pancetta fat until cooked through and lightly browned on all sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Turn off the heat in the skillet, add the minced garlic and cooked pasta, tossing quickly to coat the strands in the residual heat.
Slowly pour the egg mixture and the reserved pasta water into the skillet, tossing constantly for 1-2 minutes until a creamy sauce forms without scrambling the egg.
Stir the crispy pancetta back into the pasta and garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.
