INGREDIENTS
2 slices Turkey Bacon
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 whole Egg
1 Egg White
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, crisp the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it reaches your desired level of crispness. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg white, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth.
Add the spinach to the skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the wilted spinach and crispy turkey bacon in the skillet or a large bowl.
Pour the egg and Parmesan mixture over the warm pasta and quickly toss to coat. The residual heat from the pasta will gently cook the eggs, creating a creamy sauce. Do this off the heat to prevent scrambling.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed, then serve immediately.
