INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti

0.75 oz pancetta

1 large egg

0.75 cup egg whites

1.5 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.5 cup frozen peas

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large 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, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.

• 3

  In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced pancetta until it becomes crispy and golden brown.

• 4

  Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

• 5

  Reserve about 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the pancetta.

• 6

  Stir in the frozen peas and the reserved pasta water, tossing for 1 minute to warm the peas through.

• 7

  Remove the skillet from the heat entirely to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

• 8

  Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing constantly with tongs until the sauce thickens into a silky, creamy coating.

• 9

  Season with sea salt to taste and serve immediately while hot.
