Ingredients
- 8 ounce spaghetti pasta, whole-wheat, dry
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slice turkey bacon
- 5 clove garlic
- 1 cup green peas, frozen
- 4 large egg
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Boil noodles according to package directions. **Reserve 2 tablespoons of noodle water to use later.** Drain noodles and toss with a drizzle of olive oil to keep them from sticking together.
- Meanwhile, chop bacon into small strips and then saute in a large skillet over medium-high heat. After cooked to your liking, add minced garlic and peas. Keep on the heat for a few minutes, until peas have partially thawed.
- In a small bowl, whisk eggs, parmesan, and 2 tablespoons of reserved noodle water. Add noodles and egg-parmesan mixture to the skillet and toss to coat. Make sure noodles are evenly coated and keep on the heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, to ensure egg mixture is cooked.
- Serve with extra fresh parmesan on top and salt and pepper to taste.
