INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti

1 oz pancetta

2 large eggs

0.5 cup egg whites

3 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.5 cup peas

0.5 tsp black pepper

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the sea salt, and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente according to package directions.

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, whisk the whole eggs, liquid egg whites, and grated Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl until well combined.

• 3

  In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced pancetta until the fat has rendered and the edges are crispy.

• 4

  Add the minced garlic and frozen peas to the skillet, sautéing for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the peas are heated through.

• 5

  Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the pancetta and peas.

• 6

  Remove the skillet from the heat entirely to ensure the eggs do not scramble upon contact.

• 7

  Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, adding the reserved pasta water and black pepper.

• 8

  Toss the pasta vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the residual heat transforms the egg mixture into a creamy, thickened sauce that coats every strand.
