INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 Whole Egg
1 Egg White
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 oz Prosciutto
1/3 cup Green Peas
1/2 oz Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente, then drain, reserving a little pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, crisp the prosciutto: Lay prosciutto slices on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Once done, crumble into pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg white, nonfat Greek yogurt, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Combine the warm pasta and green peas in a large skillet over low heat. Slowly stir in the egg and yogurt mixture, letting the residual heat gently cook the sauce without scrambling the eggs. If needed, add a tablespoon of reserved pasta water to achieve the desired creamy consistency.
Mix in the crispy prosciutto and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately, enjoying the creamy texture and savory flavor of this protein-packed carbonara.
