INGREDIENTS
3 ounces dry Whole Wheat Pasta
3 slices Turkey Bacon
2 large Eggs
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 garlic clove
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the turkey bacon. Cook until crispy on both sides. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the extra virgin olive oil and finely minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and stir until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Lower the heat to low and add the drained pasta to the skillet with spinach and garlic. Quickly pour in the beaten eggs, stirring continuously off the direct heat to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
Stir in the crispy turkey bacon pieces and mix well to combine all the flavors. Adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy a savory, protein-packed meal that perfectly balances creaminess with crispiness.
