Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Whole wheat spaghetti tossed in a velvety egg and parmesan sauce with crispy pancetta and fresh spinach for a savory and satisfying finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1.5 oz pancetta
1 large egg
4 large egg whites
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
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, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and grated parmesan cheese in a small bowl until well combined.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced pancetta until it becomes golden and crispy.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet with the pancetta and stir for one minute until just wilted.
Reserve 0.25 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the pancetta, tossing to coat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture and reserved pasta water, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Season with black pepper and sea salt before serving immediately.
