Ingredients

• 250 grams whole wheat pasta
• 4 slices turkey bacon
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 100 grams low-fat cream cheese
• 125 ml low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, drain, and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Chop the turkey bacon into small pieces and add it to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add both to the same skillet, cooking in the residual oil from the bacon. Sauté over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden and caramelized.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low. Add the low-fat cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it begins to melt and combine with the onions.

Step 6

Slowly stir in the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth, whisking constantly to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the consistency.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing well to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.

Step 9

Stir in the crispy turkey bacon pieces and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Transfer the pasta to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your WW Low Fat Creamy Bacon and Onion Pasta!
