INGREDIENTS
70g dry Whole Wheat Spaghetti
2 slices Turkey Bacon
1 Large Egg
2 Egg Whites
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg, egg whites, low-fat milk, and Parmesan cheese. Season lightly with black pepper.
Add the spinach to the skillet with a splash of pasta water and lightly sauté until just wilted.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the wilted spinach and crispy turkey bacon. Remove the skillet from heat to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Quickly pour in the egg mixture, tossing continuously to create a creamy, silky sauce that lightly coats the pasta. If needed, add a bit more reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
Serve immediately, garnishing with extra Parmesan or freshly ground black pepper if desired.
