I am a mediocre chef, but did I see that the egg yolks used in the sauce never got cooked? What happened with the egg whites?

I'm not a cook nor Italian, but I think the egg yolks in here got cooked in what was effectively a double boiler? In carbonara, the yolks are meant to be gently cooked, emulsifying the sauce without fully setting.

I believe the whites aren't used in the recipe, and would need to be used for a different recipe.
