Classic Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta
Al dente chickpea spaghetti tossed in a creamy, velvety egg sauce with salty crisped pancetta and sharp Pecorino Romano.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea spaghetti
0.5 oz Nitrate-free pancetta
1 large Egg Egg
3 large Egg whites Egg whites
1 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese
0.5 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
1 clove Garlic
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, place the diced pancetta in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium, cooking until the fat renders and the meat is golden and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and grated Pecorino Romano cheese until well combined.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the hot pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Turn off the heat and add the hot pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the pancetta fat.
Quickly pour in the egg mixture while continuously tossing the pasta to create a smooth, glossy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time if needed to reach your desired consistency, then season with plenty of cracked black pepper.
