Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
10 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti
3 cups broccoli florets
4 ounces diced pancetta
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
3 large eggs
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli.
  • While the pasta cooks, add the pancetta to a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat and discard. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté until it softens slightly, about 1 minute.
  • In the meantime, whisk together the Parmesan, eggs and some salt and pepper in a bowl, then set aside.
  • When the pasta and broccoli are cooked, reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta and broccoli to the skillet along with 1/4 cup of the pasta water and toss.
  • While whisking, whisk 1/4 cup of the pasta water into the egg mixture.
  • Turn the heat off under the skillet and pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing quickly so the eggs don't scramble. Add a little more of the pasta water to thin out the sauce, if necessary. Serve immediately with lots of black pepper and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan.
