INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
2 large Eggs
3 slices Prosciutto
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of pasta water.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the prosciutto slices and lightly fry until they become crispy. Remove from pan and crumble into smaller pieces.
In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the fresh spinach and stir until just wilted.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked pasta with the spinach and garlic. Remove the pan from heat, and quickly pour in the egg mixture, stirring vigorously to create a creamy sauce from the residual heat without scrambling the eggs. If needed, add a little reserved pasta water for a smoother consistency.
Gently fold in the crispy prosciutto. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
