My husband's favorite and it truly isn't bad for you compared to most carbonara recipes...and it is super, super simple to make.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 package of whole wheat angel hair pasta
- 1/2 cup egg whites or two egg whites from extra large eggs
- parmesan (I used a mixture of pre-grated and self-grated)
- turkey bacon
- 1/2 videlia onion finely chopped
- 1-2 minced garlic cloves or 1 tsp garlic powder
- 4 tbsp butter
- salt and pepper (as desired)
- 8-10 oz frozen, chopped spinach (I forgot to add the spinach into the pic)
DIRECTIONS:
- Saute garlic and onions in butter until translucent
- Add in chopped up bacon and cook covered for 30 mins over med low heat
- Add in spinach (if desired, and heat until warmed)
- Cook pasta as directed on packaging.
- Drain and QUICKLY return to pot and add eggwhites stirring with pasta server continuously. The heat from the pasta will cook the eggs and they should stick to the pasta.
- Add the pasta in with the bacon, spinach mix, and add in parmesan cheese.
- Serve and top with additional parmesan if desired.
DELISH!!
This was absolutely fantastic!! Will definitely make again. I didn't have a Trader Joes but Turkey bacon from my local store worked awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis was fabulous. i didn't have whole wheat pasta but it was really good. Even my picky kids ate it-that's a first spinach eating for us!!! Thanks
