INGREDIENTS
2 ounces dry whole wheat spaghetti (approximately 56g)
3 slices turkey bacon
1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon extra light olive oil
Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder) to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon slices and cook until they become crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and cut into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the extra light olive oil and gently sauté the fresh spinach until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional minute.
In a small bowl, mix the plain nonfat Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to create a light, creamy sauce.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the sautéed spinach and tomatoes. Remove from heat and stir in the Greek yogurt sauce until evenly coated.
Top the pasta with the crispy turkey bacon pieces, adjust seasonings as needed, and serve immediately.
