Classic Pasta Carbonara with Pancetta
Whole wheat spaghetti tossed in a velvety egg and parmesan sauce with crispy pancetta and fresh spinach for a nutrient-dense take on the Italian classic.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti
1 oz diced pancetta
1 large egg
0.75 cup liquid egg whites
3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp cracked black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
1 cup fresh baby spinach
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat 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 golden and crispy.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the large egg, liquid egg whites, and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the pasta and immediately add it to the skillet with the pancetta.
Remove the skillet from the heat to prevent the eggs from scrambling; slowly pour in the egg mixture while tossing the pasta constantly.
Add the reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time to reach a creamy consistency, then fold in the baby spinach until wilted.
Season with cracked black pepper and sea salt before serving immediately.
