INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti

1 oz pancetta

3 oz chicken breast

1 large egg

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.5 tsp black pepper

1 clove garlic

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic.

• 3

  In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta and cook until the fat renders and the meat becomes crispy.

• 4

  Add the olive oil and diced chicken to the skillet with the pancetta; sauté until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

• 5

  Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then turn the heat to the lowest setting.

• 6

  In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

• 7

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

• 8

  Add the hot pasta directly to the skillet with the chicken and pancetta, tossing to combine.

• 9

  Remove the skillet from the heat entirely and quickly pour in the egg mixture, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.

• 10

  Thin the sauce with a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed and serve immediately with a final pinch of sea salt.
