Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Al dente chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety egg and Pecorino Romano sauce, finished with crispy pancetta and a generous crack of black pepper.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea spaghetti
0.5 oz pancetta
2 large Eggs eggs
0.25 cup liquid egg whites
2 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, add the diced pancetta to a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium, rendering the fat until the pancetta is golden and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, liquid egg whites, grated Pecorino Romano, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then remove from heat.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the pancetta.
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the pasta while tossing constantly with tongs, adding a splash of pasta water as needed to create a creamy, glossy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and an extra crack of black pepper before serving immediately.
