Description

This version of carbonara is decadent but uses Greek yogurt for the creamy aspect.

Ingredients
  • ¼ pound turkey bacon
  • ¼ pound angel hair pasta
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 pinch garlic salt
  • 1 pinch onion powder
Directions
  1. 1. Place turkey bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Drain, let cool, and crumble.
  2. 2. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in angel hair pasta, bring back to a boil, and cook over medium heat until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. 3. Meanwhile, whisk Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and onion powder together in a bowl.
  4. 4. Drain pasta and return to the pot. Pour egg mixture over the pasta while still warm. Cook and stir over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add bacon pieces and toss to coat.
