Classic Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Pan-seared chicken and crispy pancetta are tossed with al dente pasta in a velvety egg and parmesan sauce for a protein-packed twist on a classic.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz dry spaghetti
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 oz pancetta
1 large egg
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until it reaches an al dente texture.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced pancetta until it is golden and crispy.
Add the cubed chicken breast to the skillet with the pancetta and cook until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, grated parmesan, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly into the skillet with the chicken and pancetta.
Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture and the reserved pasta water, tossing constantly to create a creamy, emulsified sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Season with sea salt and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving immediately.
