Luxurious Creamy Chicken Carbonara with Crisp Pancetta

Ingredients

  • 400g spaghetti

  • 200g pancetta, diced

  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Cook spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.

  2. In a large skillet, fry the pancetta over medium heat until crispy. Remove pancetta and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add the chicken slices and cook until golden and cooked through. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

  4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper.

  5. Lower the heat under the skillet and add the cooked spaghetti. Toss to combine.

  6. Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the skillet, stirring quickly until the sauce thickens and coats the spaghetti without scrambling the eggs.

  7. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

  8. Stir in the crispy pancetta, then serve garnished with chopped parsley and additional grated Parmesan.
