INGREDIENTS
2 ounces whole wheat pasta (dry)
4 slices turkey bacon
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 clove garlic
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 olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon slices and cook until they are crispy, turning occasionally.
Add the minced garlic to the pan with bacon in the last minute of cooking to soften its flavor. Remove the bacon and garlic, then crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
In the same pan, toss in the fresh spinach and sauté lightly until just wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Add the cooked pasta and crumbled bacon, tossing gently to combine.
Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of creamy texture, crispy bacon, and fresh spinach.
