Creamy Whole Wheat Carbonara with Crispy Turkey Bacon
Enjoy a reimagined take on a classic carbonara that uses whole wheat spaghetti for a hearty twist, accompanied by crispy turkey bacon and a velvety, light creamy sauce enriched with egg and Parmesan. This dish delivers a delightful balance of texture and rich flavor in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti
3 slices Turkey Bacon
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Garlic Powder to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and crisp the turkey bacon until it is golden and crunchy. Break the bacon into bite-sized pieces and set aside, reserving a bit of the bacon drippings.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, low-fat milk, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Return the cooked spaghetti to a warm pan and gently toss with the bacon (and a teaspoon of the reserved drippings if desired for extra flavor).
Remove the pan from heat and pour in the egg and cheese mixture, stirring quickly to coat the pasta without scrambling the egg. The residual heat will create a creamy sauce.
Mix in the crispy turkey bacon pieces, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve immediately.
