INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (56g dry)
3 slices Turkey Bacon (56g total)
1 Whole Egg (50g)
1 Egg White (33g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt (60g)
1 Garlic Clove (3g)
1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti in a large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente according to package instructions, then drain and reserve a small cup of pasta water.
Meanwhile, lay the turkey bacon on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes until crispy, or cook in a skillet until desired crispiness is reached. Once cooked, roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg white, and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth. Mince the garlic and add it along with chopped fresh parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Combine the hot pasta with the crispy turkey bacon in the serving bowl. Quickly pour in the egg-yogurt mixture, stirring vigorously so the warmth of the pasta lightly cooks the eggs without scrambling them. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, and serve immediately.
