Classic Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Al dente spaghetti tossed in a silky, tempered egg sauce with savory pancetta and lean chicken, finished with a generous dusting of sharp parmesan.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz spaghetti
0.75 oz pancetta
4 oz chicken breast
1 large egg
0.5 oz parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente according to package directions.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced chicken breast until golden and cooked through.
Add the pancetta to the skillet with the chicken and continue cooking until the pancetta is crispy and the fat has rendered.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it immediately to the skillet with the chicken and pancetta.
Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly pour in the egg and cheese mixture along with the reserved pasta water.
Toss the pasta vigorously and constantly for 1-2 minutes to allow the residual heat to cook the egg into a creamy, velvety sauce without scrambling it.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an extra crack of black pepper before serving immediately.
