INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
3 slices Lean Turkey Bacon
1 large Egg
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
In a skillet over medium heat, crisp the lean turkey bacon until slightly crunchy. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg white, non-fat Greek yogurt, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with turkey bacon and garlic, and allow it to wilt for about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Quickly toss in the drained pasta and pour the egg-yogurt mixture over the pasta, stirring rapidly to create a creamy sauce. Use the reserved pasta water if necessary to adjust the consistency.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, nutritious pasta carbonara.
