INGREDIENTS

2 oz whole wheat spaghetti

1 oz diced pancetta

2 large eggs

2 large egg whites

4 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 cup fresh spinach

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.5 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with the sea salt.

• 2

  Add the whole wheat spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente.

• 3

  While the pasta cooks, place the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until crisp and golden.

• 4

  In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

• 5

  Just before draining the pasta, reserve about 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.

• 6

  Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the pancetta, stirring for 1 minute until just wilted.

• 7

  Drain the pasta and add it directly to the skillet with the pancetta and spinach, tossing to combine.

• 8

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

• 9

  Slowly pour the egg mixture over the pasta while tossing constantly, adding a splash of reserved pasta water as needed to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
