Whole Wheat Carbonara with Crispy Turkey Bacon and Wilted Spinach
A wholesome twist on the classic carbonara featuring nutrient-rich whole wheat spaghetti combined with crispy turkey bacon, silky eggs, and tender wilted spinach. Each bite delivers a satisfying blend of savory and fresh flavors accented by a hint of garlic and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
INGREDIENTS
56g Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
2 slices Turkey Bacon
2 Whole Eggs
1 Egg White
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain, reserving a little pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, chop the garlic finely and roughly chop the spinach.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook until they become crispy. Remove from the skillet and chop into smaller pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg white along with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Reduce the skillet heat to low and add the cooked spaghetti back into the pan. Pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti, stirring quickly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
Fold in the wilted spinach, allowing it to soften slightly from the heat, then stir in the crispy turkey bacon pieces.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
