INGREDIENTS

2 oz whole wheat spaghetti

1 oz diced pancetta

1 large egg

3 large egg whites

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 cup frozen sweet peas

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.13 tsp sea salt

1 clove garlic

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

• 3

  In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced pancetta until it becomes crispy and golden brown.

• 4

  Add the minced garlic and frozen peas to the skillet with the pancetta, sautéing for 2 minutes until the peas are bright green and heated through.

• 5

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

• 6

  Immediately add the hot pasta to the skillet with the pancetta and peas, tossing to combine while still over low heat.

• 7

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

• 8

  Slowly 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 creamy, emulsified sauce.

• 9

  Serve immediately with an extra crack of black pepper if desired.
