Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Al dente whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety egg sauce with savory pancetta and crisp zucchini noodles for a lighter, protein-packed twist on the Roman classic.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz pancetta
1 oz smoked turkey breast
1 large egg
0.5 cup liquid egg whites
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 cup zucchini noodles
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced pancetta and smoked turkey, sautéing until the pancetta is golden and crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, liquid egg whites, and grated parmesan cheese until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Add the minced garlic and zucchini noodles to the skillet with the pancetta, sautéing for just 1-2 minutes until the zucchini is slightly softened but still firm.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet, tossing with the meat and zucchini.
Remove the skillet from the heat source immediately; slowly pour in the egg mixture while tossing the pasta constantly with tongs to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Thin the sauce with a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed, then season with sea salt and plenty of black pepper before serving.
