Guilt Free Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe Video
t just doesn’t get much more decadent than carbonara pasta. Basically, it’s an Italian bacon, egg and cream pasta dish with lots of cheese. It’s so rich that even the biggest eaters have a hard time having more than one bowl. It’s probably the most decadent dishes you’ll find – which to me was a challenge. I looked to Anne Burrell for inspiration and came up with a dish that has a fraction of the fat and all the yummy flavor.
Ingredients
Salt
Olive oil cooking spray
3/4 cup prosciutto, cut into 1/4-inch dice (about 2 oz)
1 – 13 oz box carb protected spaghetti (recommended: Dreamfield’s)
1 1/2 cups egg substitute
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano
Freshly ground black pepper
Finely chopped parsley for garnish
Directions
Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil over medium heat.
Spray a large skillet and set over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and cook until it starts to color and become crisp. Turn off the heat and reserve.
Drop the pasta into the salted boiling water and cook it 1 minute less than it says on the package, usually about 6 to 7 minutes. Bite the pasta to check the consistency.
While the pasta is cooking, pour the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the grated cheeses and season with salt. Whisk vigorously until it becomes a homogenous mixture. Season generously with black pepper.
When the pasta is just about done, return the pan with the prosciutto to medium low heat. Remove the pasta from the cooking water. Toss or stir the pasta into the prosciutto to coat the pasta with the remaining fat in the skillet. Immediately vigorously stir the egg mixture into the pasta. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the egg mixture looks like a cream sauce and immediately remove from heat before eggs begin to scramble.
Serve immediately garnished with parsley.
