Our healthy spaghetti carbonara recipe for two is lower in calories and fat than a traditional spaghetti carbonara recipe, plus it boasts more than 9 grams of fiber per serving from whole-wheat pasta. For the best flavor, use Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The eggs in the sauce are not fully cooked; if you're concerned about consuming undercooked eggs, use pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs in this spaghetti carbonara recipe.

Ingredients

  • ⅛ tsp. freshly ground pepper

  • ⅛ tsp. salt

  • ¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese plus 2 tablespoons, divided

  • 1 large egg, at room temperature

  • 2 strips thick-cut bacon

  • 2 small cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed

  • 4 oz. whole-wheat spaghetti

Method

  • 01
    Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. About 3 minutes before it is done, stir in peas and garlic.
  • 02
    Meanwhile, cook bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Scrape the bacon drippings into a large bowl; add egg, ¼ cup Parmesan, salt and pepper and whisk until combined.
  • 03
    Chop the bacon and add to the egg mixture. When the pasta and peas are done, drain, reserving 6 tablespoons of the water. Immediately stir the pasta, peas and the 6 tablespoons water into the egg mixture, stirring quickly so the egg doesn't scramble. Let stand 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken the sauce. Serve each portion topped with 1 tablespoon of the remaining cheese.
  • 04
    To bring eggs to room temperature, either set them out on the counter for 15 minutes or submerge them (in the shell) in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for 5 minutes.
