mixing bowl

large pot
large skillet
- 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
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!
- 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!
