Classic Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Al dente whole wheat spaghetti tossed in a silky egg and parmesan sauce with crispy pancetta and tender grilled chicken for a savory, protein-packed finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz diced pancetta
3 oz grilled chicken breast strips
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.13 tsp sea salt
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, sauté the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy.
Add the pre-cooked grilled chicken breast strips to the skillet with the pancetta to warm through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, grated parmesan, and black pepper until well combined.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
Turn off the heat under the skillet and add the hot pasta, tossing it with the pancetta and chicken.
Quickly pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to reach a silky consistency, then garnish with fresh parsley and sea salt.
