Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Al dente whole wheat spaghetti tossed in a velvety, golden egg sauce with crispy pancetta and sharp Pecorino Romano.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz Pancetta
2 large Eggs
0.5 cup Liquid egg whites
2 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese
0.5 tsp Black pepper
0.25 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 according to package directions.
While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced pancetta until it becomes golden and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, liquid egg whites, and Pecorino Romano cheese until the mixture is well combined.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti thoroughly.
Turn off the heat under the skillet with the pancetta and add the drained pasta, tossing quickly to coat the strands in the rendered fat.
Slowly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta while whisking or tossing constantly, adding small splashes of the reserved pasta water to create a silky, creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Season the dish with freshly cracked black pepper and sea salt, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving immediately.
