Empty The Cupboards Week

I am going on a monster grocery trip tomorrow for my dinner party, so this week Kyle and I made a pact to eat the food in our house before buying any more. Here is what I whipped up for us on Sunday night. It resembles a carbonara pasta (sans egg), but there is a hidden ingredient to make it zippy! Yum!

Horsey Carbonara



















Ingredients (serves 3):
5 oz. thin whole wheat spaghetti
3 slices lean turkey bacon, cooked and then crumbled
3 T grated Parmesan cheese
2 T butter
2 T milk
1/3 cup peas
2 t horseradish cream--this is the ticket folks!!

Cook pasta until al dente, drain, reserving about 1/4 c water. Return pasta to pan with water. Add the remaining ingredients, stir together. Top with lots of cracked black pepper.
