INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (56g)
3 slices Turkey Bacon (84g approx)
4 Egg Whites (132g total)
1 Whole Egg (50g)
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (57g)
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (16g)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add a pinch of salt. Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the turkey bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and chop into bite-sized pieces; leave a little bacon fat for flavor if desired.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole egg, Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well-combined.
Return the pan to low heat and add the drained spaghetti. Pour the egg and yogurt mixture over the spaghetti, stirring continuously to create a creamy sauce that lightly coats the pasta without scrambling the eggs.
Gently fold in the crispy turkey bacon pieces, ensuring even distribution. Continue stirring for another minute until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the pan from heat immediately to prevent overcooking. Serve the creamy carbonara warm, garnished with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan and black pepper if desired.
