Lighter Creamy Spaghetti with Crispy Pancetta and Green Peas
Enjoy a revitalized pasta dish where al dente spaghetti meets the crunch of crispy pancetta, mingled with tender green peas and a light, creamy sauce enhanced with a touch of tangy Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of Parmesan. This meal offers a balanced blend of textures and flavors, perfect for a nutrient-packed dinner.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry Spaghetti (~56g)
3 slices Pancetta (~42g)
1/2 cup Green Peas (~75g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt (~60g)
1 oz Grated Parmesan Cheese (~28g)
PREPARATION
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta slices and cook until they are crispy. Remove the pancetta from the pan and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
In the same pan, add the green peas and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant in color.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy sauce. If needed, add a couple of tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to achieve a smoother consistency.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan and toss well to incorporate the sauce and green peas. Break the crispy pancetta into bite-sized pieces and gently mix into the pasta.
Finish by sprinkling the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this lighter take on a creamy, satisfying pasta dish.
