Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Sautéed pancetta and al dente chickpea pasta tossed in a velvety, golden egg sauce with a dusting of sharp parmesan.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea spaghetti
0.5 oz diced pancetta
2 large eggs
4 large egg whites
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, add the diced pancetta to a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until the fat renders and the meat is golden and crispy.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the hot pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and immediately add it to the skillet with the pancetta, tossing to coat in the rendered fat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly pour in the egg mixture, stirring constantly and adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a smooth, glossy sauce.
Season with sea salt and garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately while the sauce is creamy and warm.
