Classic Pasta Carbonara with Pancetta
Al dente chickpea pasta tossed in a silky, protein-rich egg sauce with crispy pancetta and sharp parmesan for a savory, comforting finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea spaghetti
1 oz pancetta
1 large egg
4 large egg whites
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, place the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté until the fat renders and the meat is golden and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and grated parmesan cheese until well combined and smooth.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet with the pancetta, sautéing for just 30 seconds until fragrant, then turn the heat to low.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the pancetta.
Remove the skillet from the heat entirely to prevent the eggs from scrambling, then quickly stir in the egg mixture and reserved pasta water.
Toss everything vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy coating, then season with cracked black pepper and fresh parsley.
