Skinny Pasta Cabonara - bacon

Method

• Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted, boiling water.
• Cook according to packet directions or until the pasta is tender.
• I like my pasta really soft, so it takes me around 2030 minutes depending on how high the heat is.
• While the pasta is cooking, spray a skillet with olive or vegetable oil.
• Dice the bacon and onion into small pieces.
• Add to the skillet and cook until both ingredients are golden.
• Whisk the egg whites together.
• You must do the following step when the pasta is hot: Quickly take the cooked pasta from the stove and drain it, placing the pasta back into the saucepan.
• Coat the pasta with the egg whites while the pasta is hot, as soon as you can.
• Stir the egg whites into the pasta with a wooden spoon.
• The pasta will be slightly covered in the egg whites, and admittedly wont look fantastic.
• Make sure all the pasta is covered.
• Add the cooked onion and bacon and stir well.
• Divide into 4 bowls, topping each dish with parmesan and parsley.
• If you prefer other herbs with your pasta, such as basil, add that.
• Serve while hot.
