Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Whole grain pasta tossed in a velvety egg and Pecorino sauce with savory crisped pancetta and wilted baby spinach for a protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole grain spaghetti
1 oz Pancetta
2 large Eggs
0.5 cup Liquid egg whites
2 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese
0.5 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 whole grain spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, place the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until the fat renders and the meat is golden and crisp.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, liquid egg whites, Pecorino Romano cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Reserve about 0.5 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti.
Turn off the heat under the skillet with the pancetta and add the hot pasta and fresh baby spinach, tossing until the spinach begins to wilt.
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the pasta while stirring constantly and vigorously, adding splashes of reserved pasta water as needed to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Season with sea salt if needed and serve immediately while the sauce is warm and glossy.
