INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti

4 oz chicken breast

0.5 oz pancetta

1 large egg

0.5 oz parmesan cheese

1 cup baby spinach

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced pancetta, cooking until it begins to crisp and release its fat.

• 3

  Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet with the pancetta and sauté until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

• 4

  In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined.

• 5

  Add the minced garlic and baby spinach to the skillet, sautéing for one minute until the spinach is just wilted and fragrant.

• 6

  Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the chicken and pancetta.

• 7

  Remove the skillet from the heat source and quickly stir in the egg mixture and reserved pasta water, tossing constantly to create a silky sauce without scrambling the eggs.
