INGREDIENTS
3 slices Turkey Bacon
2 ounces Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1 large Egg
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (or crushed if preferred) and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook until they are crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the bacon and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg white, nonfat Greek yogurt, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Add the drained pasta into the skillet with the garlic. Remove from heat and immediately pour in the egg-yogurt mixture, stirring quickly to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the turkey bacon pieces and season with fresh ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, enjoying the creamy, comforting flavors with a healthy twist.
