Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 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. 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. 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. Meanwhile, whisk Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and onion powder together in a bowl.

  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.
