INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz dry whole wheat spaghetti

0.25 oz diced pancetta

1 large eggs

4 large egg whites

3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.5 tsp cracked black pepper

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  While pasta cooks, place the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until the fat renders and the meat becomes crisp and golden.

• 3

  In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and cracked black pepper until well combined.

• 4

  Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and immediately add it to the skillet with the pancetta.

• 5

  Remove the skillet from heat and slowly pour in the egg mixture while tossing the pasta constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.

• 6

  Gradually add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time if needed to reach a glossy consistency, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
