Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Al dente whole wheat spaghetti tossed in a creamy, velvety egg sauce with savory pancetta and fresh baby spinach.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz Pancetta
1 large Egg
0.75 cup Liquid egg whites
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 cup Baby spinach
1 clove Garlic
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, place the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy and the fat has rendered.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the baby spinach and stir until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, liquid egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
Turn off the heat on the skillet. Add the hot pasta directly to the skillet with the pancetta and spinach, tossing to combine.
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the pasta while constantly tossing with tongs. The residual heat will cook the eggs into a creamy sauce without scrambling them.
Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to reach your desired sauce consistency and serve immediately.
