Featuring whole wheat pasta tossed in a tangy nonfat Greek yogurt sauce, accented with crispy turkey bacon, fresh spinach, and a hint of garlic, it's the ideal meal for anyone seeking a protein boost without overindulging on calories.
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces dry whole wheat pasta
3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
2 slices turkey bacon
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 cup baby spinach
1 garlic clove
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, lightly sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper. If desired, warm the yogurt slightly on low heat in the skillet to create a creamier consistency—do not boil.
Toss the cooked pasta with the spinach, garlic, turkey bacon, and Greek yogurt sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary and serve immediately.
