Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Whole wheat spaghetti swirled in a silky, protein-rich egg sauce with crispy pancetta and sharp parmesan for a savory, decadent finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz Pancetta
1 large Egg
0.75 cup Egg whites
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Sea salt
1 tsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced pancetta, sautéing until golden and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Reserve about half a cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the pancetta.
Remove the skillet from the heat entirely to prevent the eggs from scrambling, then quickly pour in the egg mixture while tossing the pasta constantly.
Gradually add a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed to create a smooth, creamy sauce that coats every strand.
Season with sea salt if needed and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving immediately.
