Creamy Pancetta Carbonara with Parmesan
Al dente whole grain pasta tossed in a silky egg and parmesan sauce with crispy pancetta and vibrant sweet peas.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole grain spaghetti
0.75 oz pancetta
1 large egg
0.75 cup liquid egg whites
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
0.5 cup frozen sweet peas
1 tsp garlic
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, place the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until the fat renders and the meat becomes crispy.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the frozen peas to warm through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, liquid egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti.
Turn off the heat on the skillet and add the hot pasta directly to the pancetta and peas.
Quickly pour the egg mixture over the pasta while tossing constantly with tongs; the residual heat will create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency and serve immediately.
