INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti

1 oz diced pancetta

1 large egg

0.75 cup liquid egg whites

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 cup frozen green peas

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.5 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 large egg, liquid egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.

• 3

  In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the diced pancetta until it becomes crispy and golden brown.

• 4

  Add the minced garlic and frozen green peas to the skillet with the pancetta, sautéing for 2 minutes until the peas are bright green and the garlic is fragrant.

• 5

  Reserve 0.25 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti.

• 6

  Add the hot spaghetti directly to the skillet with the pancetta and peas, tossing to coat.

• 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 and adding a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed to create a smooth, silky sauce.

• 9

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