INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
3 slices Turkey Bacon
1/2 cup Fresh Green Peas
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 medium Onion
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant.
Crisp the turkey bacon in the same skillet. Once cooked, remove, let cool slightly, and then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In the skillet with the onions and garlic, add the low-fat milk and low-fat cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
Fold in the fresh peas and allow them to warm through for about 2 minutes.
Toss in the drained pasta and add the crispy turkey bacon, stirring gently to combine and coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce.
Finish by sprinkling in the Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
