INGREDIENTS
3 large egg yolks
2 ounces dry whole wheat pasta
2 slices turkey bacon
1/2 cup cooked fresh peas
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
While the pasta is cooking, crisp the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Once done, remove, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. For a creamier texture, you can temper the yolks by adding a couple of tablespoons of hot pasta water while continuously whisking.
Return the drained pasta to the skillet over low heat. Gently stir in the whisked egg yolks, allowing the residual heat to create a light, creamy sauce without scrambling the yolks. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
Fold in the crispy turkey bacon pieces and fresh peas, mixing thoroughly until evenly distributed.
Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your meal.
