INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (56g)
3 slices Lean Bacon (45g)
0.75 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (170g)
1 cup Baby Spinach (30g)
1 Garlic Clove
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the lean bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet, place on a paper towel to drain excess fat, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté briefly for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until it begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fold in the drained pasta and crispy bacon, tossing gently to ensure even coating of the sauce.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy this balanced, protein-packed dish.
