Lightened Creamy Carbonara with Crispy Pancetta and Green Peas
A fresh twist on classic carbonara featuring whole wheat spaghetti, lean turkey pancetta, and a creamy sauce made with eggs and a touch of low-fat Greek yogurt. Bursting with tender green peas and a hint of garlic and pepper, this dish blends comforting creaminess and crisp flavors for a balanced and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 oz Lean Turkey Pancetta
1 Whole Egg
2 Egg Whites
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Green Peas
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the lean turkey pancetta. Cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and low-fat Greek yogurt until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Add minced garlic to the skillet with a bit of the reserved pasta water, sautéing briefly until fragrant.
Add the drained pasta and green peas to the skillet. Lower the heat and gently toss to combine.
Pour the egg and yogurt mixture over the pasta, stirring quickly off the heat to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs. Add extra pasta water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
Stir in the crispy turkey pancetta and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top.
Serve immediately, enjoying the light creaminess and crisp accents of the pancetta complemented by the burst of green peas.
