Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Al dente spaghetti tossed in a silky, protein-rich egg and Pecorino sauce, accented by crispy, savory pancetta and a generous crack of black pepper.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Spaghetti
1.5 oz Pancetta
2 large Eggs
4 large Egg whites
1.5 tbsp Pecorino Romano
1.5 tbsp Parmesan
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente according to package directions.
While the pasta cooks, sauté the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat renders and the meat is crispy and golden.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta for the last 30 seconds of cooking, then remove the skillet from the heat source.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, grated Pecorino Romano, grated Parmesan, and black pepper until smooth.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the spaghetti.
Add the hot, drained pasta directly into the skillet with the pancetta, tossing well to coat the strands in the rendered fat.
Slowly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta while stirring constantly and vigorously, adding a splash of reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy, emulsified sauce.
