INGREDIENTS

2 oz spaghetti

1.5 oz pancetta

1 large egg

0.75 cup liquid egg whites

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until it reaches an al dente texture.

• 2

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

• 3

  In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole egg, liquid egg whites, and grated parmesan cheese until the mixture is uniform.

• 4

  Reserve approximately 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti thoroughly.

• 5

  Turn the skillet heat to low, add the hot spaghetti to the pancetta, and toss well to coat every strand in the rendered fat.

• 6

  Remove the skillet from the heat and slowly pour in the egg mixture, tossing rapidly and adding splashes of reserved water to create a smooth, silky sauce.

• 7

  Season the carbonara with fresh black pepper and sea salt, then serve immediately while the sauce is warm and creamy.
