Creamy Spaghetti Carbonara with Lean Turkey Bacon and Fresh Spinach
Enjoy a light twist on a classic carbonara with crunchy lean turkey bacon, fresh spinach, and a creamy sauce made from whole egg, egg white, and Parmesan, tossed with perfectly cooked spaghetti for a balanced meal that's satisfying and flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Spaghetti
3 slices Lean Turkey Bacon
1 large Egg
1 large Egg White
1/8 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of pasta water.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the turkey bacon. Cook until crispy, then remove and cut into bite-sized pieces.
In the same pan, add olive oil and gently sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg white, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan with spinach and garlic, tossing gently.
Pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti and quickly toss to coat evenly. The residual heat will create a creamy sauce, so work swiftly to avoid scrambling the eggs; adding a splash of reserved pasta water can help achieve a smoother consistency.
Stir in the crispy turkey bacon, season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
