You can't beat a delicious carbonara, and our recipe is also high in protein! 💪
Whole egg plus our liquid egg whites give you that silky sauce with a serious protein hit. No cream, no scrambling, 15 minutes.
Ingredients
160g penne (or protein pasta)
150g smoked chicken breast or turkey bacon, in strips
1 Golden Irish large egg
120ml Golden Irish Liquid Egg Whites
30g Parmesan, grated
1 tsp olive oil
Black pepper
Method
Cook the pasta in salted water. Save a cup of pasta water before draining.
Whisk the egg, egg whites and Parmesan with plenty of black pepper.
Crisp the chicken or turkey bacon in the oil.
Toss the drained pasta through the pan.
Take the pan off the heat, pour in the egg mix and stir fast. The heat of the pasta cooks it into a glossy sauce. Loosen with a splash of pasta water.
