Time 25m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) package uncooked linguine
2 teaspoons margarine or 2 teaspoons butter
1 1/4 cups Canadian bacon, finely chopped
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute or 1/2 cup any refrigerated fat-free liquid egg product
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Cook pasta.
  • Melt butter in saucepan, add bacon, garlic and onions. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Drain pasta and add to bacon mixture.
  • Stir in egg product, milk and pepper.
  • Cook 1 minute or until warmed through.
  • Toss with cheese and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use low-fat ingredients. This recipe uses low-fat milk, low-fat cheese, and lean turkey bacon to reduce the overall fat content of the dish.
  • Choose a healthy pasta. Whole-wheat pasta is a good option because it is high in fiber and nutrients. You can also use other healthy pasta alternatives, such as chickpea pasta or lentil pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Overcooked pasta is mushy and less flavorful. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, or until it is al dente, which means it is still slightly firm to the bite.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your pasta carbonara will taste. Look for fresh eggs, Parmesan cheese, and turkey bacon.
  • Make it your own. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can customize it to your own taste. Add more or less cheese, use different types of cheese, or add other ingredients, such as vegetables or herbs.

Conclusion:

This low-fat pasta carbonara is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its reduced fat content, this recipe is a healthier alternative to traditional pasta carbonara, without sacrificing any of the flavor.
