Calories: 560kcal
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- whisk
- large pot
- large skillet
Ingredients
- 16 oz pasta I used gluten-free spaghetti!
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 cup peas
- 5 slices of turkey bacon
- 1.5 cups pasta water
- juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Boil your pasta according to the package and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet, cook your bacon until crispy. About 5 minutes.
- Remove the bacon and chop.
- In a mixing bowl combine the eggs, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk.
- Slowly add the pasta water and whisk to combine.
- Add the pasta and bacon back to the skillet and pour the sauce over them. Stir well to coat the pasta.
- Stir in peas and enjoy!
Notes
- NEVER throw away your remaining pasta water. This dish soaks up water pretty fast. You might need some more in a bit.
- Add a hint of soy sauce for enhanced umami vibes! It will pair up with nutritional yeast for a delightful flavor boost.
- There's no need for olive oil when crisping your bacon, but if you love the flavor, feel free to add some. Just SOME!
- Make sure your pasta is still hot before adding the egg mixture - it'll help cook it a little. Don't turn the heat on! It'll scramble the eggs!
