Classic Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Al dente chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety pasture-raised egg and aged cheese sauce, topped with salty, crispy pancetta for a satisfyingly rich finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Chickpea spaghetti
1 oz Pancetta
1 large Egg
3 large Egg whites
0.5 oz Pecorino Romano cheese
0.5 oz Parmesan cheese
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
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, place the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until the fat renders and the meat is golden and crispy.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, grated Pecorino Romano, and grated Parmesan until well combined.
Add the minced garlic and baby spinach to the skillet with the pancetta, sautéing for 1 minute until the spinach is just wilted.
Reserve 0.5 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and immediately add it to the skillet with the pancetta.
Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly pour in the egg and cheese mixture, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Thin the sauce with the reserved pasta water as needed, season with sea salt and black pepper, and serve immediately.
