INGREDIENTS
2 slices Turkey Bacon
2 ounces Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1/3 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Peas
2 Egg Whites
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon slices and cook until crispy on both sides. Remove and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, egg whites, black pepper, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Return the skillet to low heat and add the drained pasta, crumbled turkey bacon, and peas. Stir gently to combine.
Pour the creamy yogurt mixture over the pasta and toss continuously, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to create a silky sauce that lightly coats the pasta.
Heat gently for one minute to warm the sauce without scrambling the egg whites, then remove from heat and serve immediately.
