INGREDIENTS

2 oz whole wheat spaghetti

1 oz pancetta

1 large egg

0.5 cup liquid egg whites

1 oz parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.5 cup fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

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

• 3

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

• 4

  Reserve about 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

• 5

  Add the hot spaghetti directly to the skillet with the pancetta and toss to coat in the rendered fat.

• 6

  Remove the skillet from the heat entirely to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

• 7

  Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing constantly and adding a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed to create a smooth, creamy sauce.

• 8

  Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.
