Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Sautéed pancetta and whole wheat spaghetti tossed in a silky, protein-rich egg sauce with sweet peas for a savory, comforting finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz Pancetta
2 large Eggs
0.75 cup Liquid egg whites
2 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese
0.5 cup Sweet peas
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.13 tsp Sea salt
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente.
While pasta cooks, sauté the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy and golden.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, liquid egg whites, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the frozen sweet peas to the boiling pasta water during the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
Reserve 0.25 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and peas.
Turn off the heat under the skillet with the pancetta; add the pasta and peas, tossing to coat in the rendered fat.
Slowly whisk the reserved pasta water into the egg mixture to temper it, then pour the mixture over the pasta.
Toss continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a creamy glaze without scrambling the eggs.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
