Classic Carbonara with Pancetta and Egg
Al dente whole wheat spaghetti tossed in a creamy, velvety egg sauce with crispy pancetta and lean chicken breast for a satisfying protein boost.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz dry whole wheat spaghetti
0.75 oz pancetta
3 oz cooked chicken breast
1 large egg
0.25 cup liquid egg whites
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, finely dice the pancetta and mince the garlic clove.
In a small bowl, whisk together the large egg, liquid egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sauté the pancetta until it becomes crispy and golden.
Add the minced garlic and diced cooked chicken breast to the skillet, heating through for 1-2 minutes.
Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
Turn off the heat on the skillet and add the hot pasta, tossing it with the pancetta and chicken.
Quickly pour the egg mixture over the pasta while tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to reach a velvety consistency and serve immediately.
