About Time: Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins Total Time: 35 mins Yield: Serves 4 ½ Syn per serving Ingredients: 400g dried spaghetti 6 lean bacon rashers, thinly sliced (visible fat removed) 4 large eggs 4 tablespoons fat-free natural fromage frais 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish) Small handful fresh chives, finely chopped Instructions: Cook the spaghetti: Follow the package instructions to cook the spaghetti al dente. Drain well and reserve a small amount of the cooking water. Crisp the bacon: Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Fry the bacon rashers until crisp and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the fromage frais, 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese, and most of the chopped chives. Combine the flavors: Add the cooked spaghetti back to the pan with the reserved cooking water. Toss over low heat to warm through. 7 Remove from the heat and immediately pour in the egg mixture, tossing continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta. Do not overcook, as the eggs can scramble. Serve and enjoy: Divide the spaghetti between serving bowls. Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese, crispy bacon pieces, and a sprinkle of fresh chives. Tips: For an extra flavorful kick, add a pinch of black pepper or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce. Feel free to substitute the bacon with other lean protein options like grilled chicken breast, shrimp, or smoked salmon. If you don't have fromage frais, you can use low-fat ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt instead. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
