INGREDIENTS

2 oz high-protein spaghetti

1.5 oz diced pancetta

1 large egg

3 large egg whites

3 tbsp grated Pecorino Romano cheese

0.5 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp sea salt

1 tsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  While pasta cooks, place the diced pancetta in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium, rendering the fat until the meat is crispy and golden.

• 3

  In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and grated Pecorino Romano until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

• 4

  Reserve 0.25 cup of the starchy pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the pancetta.

• 5

  Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture and reserved pasta water, tossing constantly to create a silky sauce without scrambling the eggs.

• 6

  Season with freshly cracked black pepper and sea salt, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving immediately.
