Savor this luscious, comforting pasta dish where whole wheat spaghetti is enveloped in a light garlic cream sauce, accented by crisply fried bacon and fresh spinach. It offers a balanced medley of savory flavors and textures that elevate a simple meal into a nourishing delight.
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces whole wheat pasta
3 slices bacon
1 cup fresh spinach
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta as directed until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain, then crumble into pieces.
In the same skillet, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat milk, letting it warm through to create a light cream sauce. Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and combined.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until just wilted.
Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, ensuring it is evenly coated. Fold in the crispy bacon pieces.
Serve immediately, enjoying the rich flavors and creamy texture of this comforting dish.
