Classic Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Al dente chickpea spaghetti tossed in a silky, tempered egg and Pecorino sauce with savory, crispy pancetta bits and a bold kick of cracked black pepper.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea spaghetti
0.5 oz pancetta
1 large egg
3 large egg whites
1 tbsp pecorino romano cheese
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea spaghetti until al dente.
While pasta cooks, sauté the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until it becomes golden and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and grated Pecorino Romano until well combined.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reserve 0.25 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it directly to the skillet, tossing to coat in the pancetta fat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture and reserved pasta water, whisking constantly to create a silky sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Season with the freshly cracked black pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
