1. Cook 60g whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve 60ml (1/4 cup) of pasta water before draining. 2. While pasta is cooking, heat 5ml olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. 3. Add 30g diced turkey bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. 4. Add 3g minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat. 5. In a bowl, whisk together 50g egg, 30g Greek yogurt, and 10g grated Parmesan cheese. 6. Add the hot drained pasta to the skillet with the bacon and garlic. 7.
