Classic Pasta Carbonara with Pancetta and Lean Chicken
Al dente whole wheat pasta tossed in a velvety egg sauce with crisp pancetta and tender chicken for a savory, protein-packed twist on the Roman classic.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti
0.75 oz pancetta
2.5 oz cooked chicken breast
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a 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 it becomes golden and crisp.
Add the minced garlic and diced cooked chicken breast to the skillet, warming through for 1-2 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.
Reserve 0.25 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it immediately to the skillet with the pancetta and chicken.
Remove the skillet from heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture and reserved pasta water, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Season with sea salt and plenty of fresh black pepper, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
