Easy Pea & Spinach Carbonara
I love to make this Easy Pea & Spinach Carbonara for a midweek meal which is healthy and delicious and takes only 15 minutes. Carbonara is one of the darlings of Italian cuisine – creamy egg sauce with crispy bacon mixed with spaghetti, what’s not to love about this classic? The lack of vegetables maybe?! That’s why I’ve come up with this healthier take on Carbonara.
I make my green carbonara by whisking Parmesan cheese, egg yolks, egg, pepper and salt together. I boil pasta in a large pan of boiling water with spinach and peas. When the pasta is cooked, I drain the water and reserve ¼ cup to loosen the egg mixture. I gradually mix the egg sauce with the pasta and I serve topped with toasted breadcrumbs and garlic. Yum!

I like this so much I'm actually going too bookmark the page cause of all the good ideas on here.
Super healthy and delicious, the flavours are great me and my hubby really loved it.
Very healthy and quite filling meal, I enjoyed it and appreciate the share.
This is so simple to make and it's delicious, I used penne instead of the noodles though.
Added some sundried tomatos to this since they are my favorite and I have to say it actually blends quite well.
Easy to make and afforadble ingridents since it's nothing too crazy so I'll cook it again sometime soon.
Great recipe will be making this carbonara again, 5 stars from me.
Not too flavourful and kinda plain in my opinion so had to add my own sauce, it was good after that.
Really easy recipe to copy!
