Enjoy a delightful fusion of creamy egg yolks and whole wheat pasta enhanced with crispy turkey bacon, fresh garlic, and a touch of Parmesan. This dish offers a satisfying texture and rich flavor profile that makes it a versatile option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
3 large Egg Yolks
3 slices Turkey Bacon
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of pasta water.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon slices and cook until crispy on both sides. Remove from the skillet and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks with a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. Slowly mix in a couple of tablespoons of warm pasta water to temper the yolks and create a creamy sauce.
Combine the drained pasta with the spinach, garlic, and chopped turkey bacon in the skillet. Remove from heat and gently stir in the egg yolk mixture until the pasta is evenly coated, ensuring the residual heat creates a silky, creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Serve immediately with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
