INGREDIENTS
50 grams dry Whole Wheat Pasta
2 slices Turkey Bacon
1/2 cup Frozen Green Peas
2 large Eggs
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook until they are crispy, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Toss in the frozen green peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of the pasta water. Reduce the heat to low and add the pasta to the skillet, gently mixing with the bacon and peas.
Remove the skillet from heat and quickly stir in the egg and Parmesan mixture, tossing vigorously to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs. If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper, serve immediately, and enjoy your creamy turkey bacon pea carbonara.
