Healthy Creamy Carbonara with Lean Turkey Bacon
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic carbonara by using lean turkey bacon, whole wheat spaghetti, and a silky egg-based sauce. This dish delivers a satisfying creaminess with bright notes of garlic and Parmesan, perfect for a wholesome lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
75 g dry whole wheat spaghetti
4 slices lean turkey bacon
1 whole egg
1 egg white
1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese
0.5 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 pinch salt
1 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
In a bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg white, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the lean turkey bacon slices and sauté until they are crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and crumble them into smaller pieces.
Reduce the flame to low and return the cooked spaghetti to the pan. Slowly pour in the egg and cheese mixture, stirring continuously to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs. If needed, add a little reserved pasta water to achieve a smooth consistency.
Mix in the crumbled turkey bacon and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired.
Serve immediately, enjoying the blend of creamy sauce with the savory crunch of turkey bacon.
