Creamy High-Protein Pasta with Crispy Bacon and Wilted Spinach
This dish combines the satisfying texture of whole wheat pasta with the savory crunch of crispy bacon, all enveloped in a light, creamy sauce enhanced by low-fat Greek yogurt and a touch of Parmesan. Fresh spinach is gently wilted to perfection, adding a burst of color and nutrients to this balanced, protein-rich meal.
INGREDIENTS
75g Whole Wheat Pasta
2 slices Crispy Bacon
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg White
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, then drain, reserving a splash of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, fry the bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.
In the same pan, add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted, absorbing some of the bacon flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, egg white, and Parmesan cheese. If desired, add a small amount of the reserved pasta water to achieve a creamy consistency.
Combine the drained pasta with the creamy sauce in the pan, stirring gently to coat evenly.
Crumble the crispy bacon over the pasta and add the wilted spinach. Toss briefly to distribute all the flavors.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately while warm.
