Paired with whole wheat spaghetti for added fiber and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, this dish delivers a rich flavor experience while keeping the meal light and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti (dry)
3 slices Lean Turkey Bacon
1 Whole Egg
1 Egg White
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small splash of pasta water.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and lightly sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the lean turkey bacon slices and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg white, and Greek yogurt. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Combine the hot spaghetti with the turkey bacon and garlic in the skillet. Remove from heat, then quickly stir in the egg-yogurt mixture, tossing rapidly. The residual heat will gently cook the eggs, creating a creamy sauce. If needed, add a small amount of reserved pasta water to achieve a silky consistency.
Finish by stirring in the chopped fresh parsley and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy a harmonious blend of creamy texture and savory flavors.
