INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta (140g)
3 slices Turkey Bacon (50g total)
1 whole Egg (50g)
1 Egg White (33g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (61g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 Garlic Clove
Salt, Black Pepper & Parsley to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg white, nonfat Greek yogurt, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a lightly crushed garlic clove and let infuse for about 30 seconds. Remove the garlic once fragrant.
Lower the heat and add the cooked pasta back to the skillet. Pour the creamy mixture over the pasta, stirring quickly to combine. If needed, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Fold in the crispy turkey bacon pieces, and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if desired.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
