Classic Carbonara with Pancetta
Al dente whole wheat spaghetti tossed in a velvety egg sauce with crispy pancetta and vibrant green peas for a nutritious twist on a Roman classic.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz Pancetta
1 large Egg
0.75 cup Liquid egg whites
2 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
0.5 cup Frozen peas
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 until al dente according to package directions.
While the pasta cooks, sauté the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until it becomes crispy and golden brown.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
In a medium 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 and add it directly into the skillet with the pancetta.
Add the frozen peas and the reserved pasta water to the skillet, tossing for 1 minute to allow the peas to heat through.
Remove the skillet from the heat entirely and quickly pour in the egg mixture, tossing the pasta constantly for 1 to 2 minutes to create a creamy, emulsified sauce.
