Classic Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Sautéed crispy pancetta tossed with chickpea pasta in a creamy, velvety egg sauce finished with sharp parmesan and cracked black pepper.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea spaghetti
1.5 oz pancetta
1 large egg
0.5 cup liquid egg whites
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, reserving 0.25 cup of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, add the diced pancetta to a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until it becomes golden and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, liquid egg whites, grated parmesan, and black pepper until well combined.
Drain the pasta and immediately add it to the skillet with the crispy pancetta, tossing over low heat to coat the noodles in the rendered fat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and slowly whisk a tablespoon of the hot pasta water into the egg mixture to temper it.
Pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing constantly and vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a velvety glaze without scrambling the eggs.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
