INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 🍝 16 ounces spaghetti

  • Meat

    • 10 ounces diced pancetta
    • 🍗 2 cups cooked chicken breast

  • Dairy

    • 🥚 4 large egg yolks
    • 🧀 2 cups grated parmesan cheese
    • 🥛 1 cup heavy cream

  • Herbs

    • 1 tablespoon Italian parsley

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2

Cook pancetta in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

3

Boil spaghetti in lightly salted water for 5 minutes. Drain pasta and reserve 2 cups pasta water.

4

Add egg yolks to a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.

5

Gradually pour 1 1/2 cups hot pasta water over egg yolks, whisking vigorously to prevent scrambling.

6

Whisk in Parmesan cheese, then heavy cream to form the sauce.

7

Combine cooked pasta, pancetta, and chicken with the sauce, toss to coat evenly. Transfer to prepared baking dish.

8

Bake in the preheated oven until hot and sauce thickens, stirring halfway through, about 20 minutes.

9

Remove from oven and let stand for 2-3 minutes to allow the sauce to continue thickening.

10

Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
