Enjoy a lighter twist on a classic carbonara dish, featuring crispy turkey bacon, a silky blend of egg and nonfat Greek yogurt, and vibrant fresh herbs. This dish offers a creamy sauce without the heavy cream, making it a balanced option for a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked whole wheat pasta (70g)
3 slices turkey bacon (45g)
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (60g)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh mixed herbs (parsley & basil)
1 clove garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, crisp the turkey bacon until it becomes golden and slightly crunchy. Remove and chop into bite-size pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth.
Finely mince the garlic and roughly chop the fresh herbs.
Return the pasta to the skillet over low heat. Add the whisked egg and yogurt mixture and gently toss, allowing the residual heat to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Mix in the garlic, fresh herbs, crispy turkey bacon, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the ingredients until well combined and heated through, then serve immediately.
