INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
2 slices Turkey Bacon
2 large Eggs
1/2 cup Fresh Peas
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente, then reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
In a pan, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy, then remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and pepper until well combined.
Sauté the minced garlic in a non-stick pan over low-medium heat until fragrant, then add the fresh peas and cook for about 2 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta and crispy turkey bacon to the pan with the peas and garlic, then remove the pan from heat.
Quickly pour in the egg mixture, stirring vigorously to create a creamy sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
Season with additional salt and pepper if necessary and serve immediately while warm.
