Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Boiled whole wheat spaghetti tossed in a silky, protein-rich egg sauce with crispy pancetta and sharp parmesan cheese.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz pancetta
2 large eggs
4 large egg whites
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the pancetta until it is golden and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Reserve about 0.5 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
Add the hot pasta to the skillet with the pancetta and toss to coat, then remove the skillet from the heat immediately.
Slowly whisk 2 tablespoons of the hot pasta water into the egg mixture to temper it, then pour the mixture over the pasta.
Toss vigorously until the sauce thickens into a silky, creamy coating, adding more pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
