INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
1 large Egg
1 large Egg White
2 slices Turkey Bacon
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 clove Garlic
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
Crisp the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until lightly browned. Remove and chop into small pieces.
In a bowl, whisk the egg and egg white together. Stir in the Greek yogurt and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
In the same skillet, add a minced garlic clove and sauté briefly until fragrant. Add the cooked spaghetti, turkey bacon, and fresh spinach; stir until the spinach begins to wilt.
Remove the skillet from heat. Pour in the egg and yogurt mixture, quickly tossing to evenly coat the pasta. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to create a creamier sauce.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
