Classic Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Al dente spaghetti swirled in a velvety, golden egg sauce with crispy, salty pancetta and a generous dusting of sharp Pecorino Romano.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Spaghetti
1.5 oz Pancetta
2 large Eggs
2 large Egg whites
2 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese
0.5 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
1 tsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti 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 small bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, grated Pecorino Romano, and freshly cracked black pepper until well combined.
Reserve about 0.5 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
Turn off the heat under the skillet with the pancetta and add the hot spaghetti, tossing to coat the noodles in the rendered fat.
Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, whisking constantly and adding splashes of reserved pasta water as needed to create a smooth, creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Season with sea salt if needed and garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.
