Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Al dente chickpea pasta swirled in a velvety egg and Pecorino sauce, punctuated by the savory crunch of golden pancetta.
INGREDIENTS
1.25 oz Chickpea spaghetti
0.25 oz Pancetta
1 large Eggs
0.5 cup Egg whites
1 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese
0.5 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
1 cup Baby spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta until al dente.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining the noodles.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced pancetta until the fat renders and it becomes crispy and golden.
Whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, and grated Pecorino Romano in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet with the pancetta and stir for 1 minute until just wilted.
Remove the skillet from the heat and add the hot pasta, tossing quickly to coat the strands in the rendered fat.
Slowly pour in the egg mixture and reserved pasta water while whisking or tossing vigorously to create a creamy emulsion without scrambling the eggs.
Season with freshly cracked black pepper and sea salt, then serve immediately in warm bowls.
