Classic Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Al dente whole wheat pasta tossed in a silky egg sauce with salty pancetta and sweet peas for a vibrant, protein-packed twist on the Roman classic.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz pancetta
1 large egg
0.75 cup liquid egg whites
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
0.5 cup frozen peas
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, season with a pinch of sea salt, and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, whisk the whole egg, liquid egg whites, and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl until well combined and smooth.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced pancetta until it becomes golden and crispy.
Add the minced garlic and frozen peas to the skillet with the pancetta, sautéing for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet.
Turn off the heat and quickly pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing vigorously with the reserved pasta water to create a creamy, emulsified sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Season with freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately while hot.
