INGREDIENTS

2 oz whole wheat spaghetti

1 oz pancetta

1 large egg

0.5 cup egg whites

3 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.5 cup frozen peas

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl until the mixture is uniform.

• 3

  In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced pancetta for 5-7 minutes until it becomes crispy and the fat has rendered.

• 4

  Add the minced garlic and frozen peas to the skillet with the pancetta, cooking for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

• 5

  Reserve 0.5 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet, tossing to coat the noodles in the pancetta drippings.

• 6

  Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately pour in the egg mixture while tossing the pasta constantly with tongs to create a creamy sauce.

• 7

  Slowly add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time as needed to reach your desired sauce consistency, ensuring the eggs do not scramble.

• 8

  Season the dish with freshly cracked black pepper and sea salt before serving in a warm bowl.
