Classic Carbonara with Pancetta
Al dente spaghetti tossed in a creamy, emulsified sauce of eggs and sharp cheeses, finished with crispy pancetta for a salty, savory bite.
INGREDIENTS
1.25 oz dry spaghetti
1 oz diced pancetta
1 large egg
5 large egg whites
0.75 oz grated Pecorino Romano
0.5 oz grated Parmesan cheese
0.5 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
0.25 tsp sea salt
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the sea salt.
Cook the spaghetti until just al dente, reserving 0.5 cup of the pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, sauté the diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, Pecorino Romano, Parmesan, and black pepper until well combined.
Turn off the heat under the skillet and add the drained pasta, tossing it with the pancetta and rendered fat.
Quickly pour in the egg and cheese mixture while whisking constantly, adding splashes of reserved pasta water as needed to create a smooth, glossy sauce.
Serve immediately in a warmed bowl.
