Enjoy a rejuvenated spin on classic carbonara with lean turkey bacon, al dente whole wheat pasta, and vibrant sautéed greens. This dish perfectly balances savory notes and fresh, earthy flavors, making it a wholesome meal to fuel your day.
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces whole wheat pasta (56g)
3 slices lean turkey bacon (42g)
2 large eggs (100g)
1 cup baby spinach (30g)
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese (5g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (5g)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Crisp the turkey bacon slices until they are browned and slightly crispy. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the baby spinach and sauté lightly for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated parmesan cheese. If desired, add a bit of the reserved hot pasta water to temper the eggs.
Combine the hot pasta with the sautéed greens and turkey bacon in the skillet. Pour in the egg and cheese mixture and stir quickly to create a creamy sauce that lightly coats the pasta. The heat from the pasta will gently cook the eggs.
Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy your lean turkey bacon carbonara with a fresh, vibrant twist.
