This recipe is a delightful balance of taste and nutrition for a comforting meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (56g)
2 slices Turkey Bacon (28g each)
2 large Eggs
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
In a skillet, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the 2 whole eggs and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Return the spaghetti to the skillet over low heat. Pour the egg and yogurt mixture over the pasta, stirring quickly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve a silky consistency.
Stir in the crumbled turkey bacon and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until well combined.
Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra light sprinkle of black pepper, then serve immediately.
