INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (56g)
2 slices Turkey Bacon (16g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (61g)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese (25g)
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a small cup of pasta water before draining.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until it's crispy. Add the chopped garlic during the last 30 seconds to soften its flavor. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg, nonfat Greek yogurt, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Combine the hot drained pasta with the turkey bacon and garlic. Pour in the egg-yogurt mixture while tossing vigorously to create a creamy, silky sauce. Use a bit of the reserved pasta water if needed to thin the sauce.
Finish off by stirring in the fresh parsley and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve immediately.
