INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti

1.25 oz diced pancetta

2 large eggs

0.5 cup liquid egg whites

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

1 tbsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente according to package directions.

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced pancetta, sautéing until it becomes golden and crispy.

• 3

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

• 4

  Reserve about 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

• 5

  Turn off the heat under the skillet with the pancetta and add the hot pasta, tossing to coat in the rendered fat.

• 6

  Slowly pour the egg mixture over the pasta while whisking or tossing constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.

• 7

  Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency, then garnish with fresh parsley and a pinch of sea salt.
