INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Spaghetti
2 slices Turkey Bacon
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Fresh Basil sprigs (optional)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta is cooking, place the turkey bacon slices in a cold non-stick skillet. Cook over medium heat until both sides are crispy and browned. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add a minced garlic clove and lightly sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Lower the heat and add the nonfat Greek yogurt and low-fat milk to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic. If the sauce is too thick, gradually whisk in a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach a creamy consistency.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Stir in the cooked spaghetti and toss well to coat evenly.
Add the crispy turkey bacon and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to incorporate.
Finish with fresh basil sprigs if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
