Directions

60 min.
1. Step

Start by boiling water in a pot for the pasta. Once boiling, add a pinch of salt and then the pasta. Cook the spaghetti per the instructions on the package until al dente.

2. Step

While pasta is cooking, in a large pan, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the pancetta or bacon and cook until crispy.

3. Step

In the same pan, add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and no longer pink in the middle. Set aside the cooked pancetta/bacon and chicken.

4. Step

In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.

5. Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cheese, salt, and pepper.

6. Step

Once the pasta is cooked, drain and reserve a cup of the pasta water.

7. Step

Put the pasta back into the pot and while the pasta is still hot, slowly pour in the egg and cheese mixture, tossing the spaghetti continuously. The heat of the pasta will cook the raw egg slightly.

8. Step

Thin out the sauce with some of the reserved pasta water, until it reaches desired consistency.

9. Step

Add back the cooked chicken and crispy pancetta/bacon to the pasta and stir to combine well.

10. Step

Serve immediately with a sprinkle of extra cheese and some parsley on top for garnish.
