"Ever since my French roommate whipped up my first taste of carbonara, I&amp;#x27;ve been searching for a healthier version of the recipe so I can work it into my regular rotation. Carbonara is so good, but I have a hard time justifying topping a bunch of carbs with bacon and a cream sauce, you know? Luckily, I found this recipe, which swaps out the cream for protein-packed Greek yogurt and skips the bacon altogether (trust me, you won&amp;#x27;t miss it!), while still staying just as delicious as the version that&amp;#x27;s so popular overseas. Needless to say, I thought I should share! &amp;amp;#8220;This creamy pasta dish hits many of the same notes as gooey mac &amp;#x27;n cheese,&amp;amp;#8221; Cara Eisenpress, the genius inventor of this recipe and co-author of In the Small Kitchen, says. &amp;amp;#8220;Yogurt gives it an extra tang and of course makes it far lighter than anything by the name of mac!&amp;amp;#8221; Yogurt &amp;amp;#8220;Carbonara&amp;amp;#8221; 1 cup (3 oz.) short pasta (penne works great) 1/3 c. plain Greek yogurt 1 egg 3 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 tsp. salt Pinch of ground cinnamon Pinch of cayenne pepper Freshly ground black pepper 1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta, following the package directions, until al dente. 2. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, beat together the yogurt, egg, 2 tablspoons of the Parmesan, and the salt, cinnamon and cayenne. 3. Drain the pasta, and immediately add it to the yogurt mixture. Toss to combine. Top with the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan and a few grinds of black pepper. So not only is it a one-pot recipe (love!), but it&amp;amp;#8217;s also super-quick: Because you prep the sauce while the pasta cooks, the whole recipe doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t take any more time than it would if you waited for the penne to cook, then dumped a sodium-packed can of marinara over it. The Greek yogurt also gives it a seriously-satisfying, good-for-you boost of protein that&amp;amp;#8217;s really hard to find in other carb-and-fat-loaded pasta dishes. Cara and her co-author (and friend!) Phoebe Lapine were so sweet to share the recipe with us! They have loads more in their fantastic cookbook, In the Small Kitchen, a collection of innovative recipes they came up with when they were living in their first tiny apartments.
