Classic Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Sautéed pancetta and al dente pasta tossed in a velvety egg and Greek yogurt sauce with vibrant sweet peas for a silky and satisfying finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz Diced pancetta
1 large Egg
3 large Egg whites
0.25 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
0.5 cup Frozen sweet peas
0.25 tsp Cracked black pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
1 clove Minced garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente according to package directions.
While the pasta cooks, place the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until the fat renders and the meat is crisp and golden.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then turn off the heat to prevent the garlic from burning.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, Greek yogurt, grated parmesan, and cracked black pepper until the mixture is completely smooth.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the hot pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and immediately add it to the skillet with the pancetta.
Quickly stir the frozen sweet peas into the hot pasta so they begin to defrost and warm through from the residual heat.
Slowly pour the egg and yogurt mixture over the pasta while tossing constantly with tongs, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed to create a silky, emulsified sauce.
Season the dish with sea salt to taste and serve immediately while the sauce is at its creamiest.
