0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic clove.

• 3

  In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta until the fat renders and it becomes crispy.

• 4

  Add the diced chicken to the skillet with the pancetta and sauté until cooked through and lightly golden.

• 5

  Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then turn the heat to low.

• 6

  In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

• 7

  Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

• 8

  Add the hot pasta to the skillet with the chicken and pancetta, tossing to combine.

• 9

  Remove the skillet from the heat entirely and quickly pour in the egg mixture, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.

  Thin the sauce with the reserved pasta water as needed until it reaches a silky consistency and serve immediately.
