INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti

1 oz diced pancetta

1 large egg

1 cup liquid egg whites

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 clove minced garlic

0.25 tsp cracked black pepper

0.13 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.

• 2

  Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the noodles.

• 3

  While the pasta cooks, place the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy and the fat has rendered.

• 4

  Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then turn the heat to low.

• 5

  In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, liquid egg whites, grated parmesan, and cracked black pepper until well combined.

• 6

  Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the pancetta, tossing to coat the noodles in the rendered fat.

• 7

  Remove the skillet from the heat entirely to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

• 8

  Slowly pour the egg mixture over the pasta while tossing continuously with tongs, adding the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.

• 9

  Serve immediately with an extra sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
