Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Al dente chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety egg and Pecorino Romano sauce with crispy pancetta for a savory, golden finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
0.25 oz pancetta
2 large eggs
0.5 cup egg whites
1 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced pancetta until crispy and golden.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then turn the heat to low.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, grated Pecorino Romano, and cracked black pepper until well combined.
Reserve 0.5 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it directly to the skillet with the pancetta.
Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture and a splash of the reserved pasta water, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
