INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
4 slices Turkey Bacon
1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Salt to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon slices and cook until crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, olive oil, and minced garlic. Season with freshly cracked black pepper and salt to taste. If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Chop the crispy turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces and mix it into the drained spaghetti.
Pour the creamy yogurt sauce over the pasta and bacon mixture. Toss gently to evenly coat the spaghetti.
Serve immediately, garnished with an extra sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
