Low - Fat Fettuccine Carbonara for One image

I made up this recipe by looking at other low fat carbonara recipes and have been making it for ages. It doesn't take long to prepare. It is just the right amount for one serving or just double it for 2 serves. It's so creamy, you can't even tell it is low in fat!

Time 20m

Yield 1 plate, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

100 g spaghetti or 100 g fettuccine pasta, cooked till al dente
2 medium mushrooms, diced
2 -3 slices 97% fat-free cooked ham or 2 -3 slices bacon, diced
1 pinch garlic powder (or to taste)
1/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, grated
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Lightly spray a medium saucepan with cooking spray (I use the same pan that I cooked the pasta in).
  • Add ham and mushrooms to pan and add the garlic powder, cook until soft, over medium heat (If it starts to stick to bottom of pan spray with water).
  • Take off the heat and add cooked pasta, egg, evaporated milk, cheese, pepper and parsley.
  • Reduce heat to low and return pan to heat, stirring constantly until sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Serve topped with extra cheese and pepper, if desired.
