INGREDIENTS

2 oz high-protein spaghetti

1.5 oz pancetta

2 large eggs

1 large egg white

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

1 tsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of water to a boil, season generously with sea salt, and cook the high-protein spaghetti until al dente.

• 2

  While the pasta is boiling, dice the pancetta and add it to a large skillet over medium heat, sautéing until the fat has rendered and the bits are golden and crispy.

• 3

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the two whole eggs, the egg white, and the grated parmesan cheese until well combined and smooth.

• 4

  Just before the pasta is finished, carefully reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water and set it aside.

• 5

  Drain the spaghetti and immediately add it to the skillet with the crispy pancetta, tossing for 30 seconds to coat the strands in the flavorful oils.

• 6

  Remove the skillet from the heat entirely to prevent the eggs from scrambling, then pour in the egg and cheese mixture while tossing the pasta vigorously.

• 7

  Slowly add the reserved pasta water one tablespoon at a time while continuing to toss until a creamy, glossy sauce forms.

• 8

  Season with freshly cracked black pepper and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving immediately.
