Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Al dente spaghetti tossed in a velvety emulsion of whisked eggs and sharp Pecorino Romano, punctuated by the savory crunch of golden pancetta.
INGREDIENTS
1.25 oz dry spaghetti
0.75 oz pancetta
1 large egg
3 large egg whites
1.5 oz Pecorino Romano cheese
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, sauté the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until it becomes golden and crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, grated Pecorino Romano, and black pepper until well combined.
Reserve 0.5 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
Turn off the heat under the skillet with the pancetta and add the hot spaghetti, tossing to coat the strands in the rendered fat.
Quickly pour in the egg and cheese mixture while continuously tossing the pasta, adding small splashes of reserved pasta water to create a creamy, emulsified sauce without scrambling the eggs.
