This is super easy to make, ready in about 15 minutes, all the family loves it and it is low calorie too. When I saw that BritMums were calling for egg recipes for their ‘Main Meals Linky Challege’, I had to share this one!
Here are the ingredients (recipe serves 4):
- 400g plain dried spaghetti
- 4 medium eggs, lightly beaten
- Fry Light
- 100g back bacon- remove all visible fat and cut into 2cm pieces
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 120g parmesan cheese, finely grated
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Handful of flat leaf parsley to serve- finely chopped
Method:
- Cook spaghetti according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, spray a large frying pan with Fry Light over a medium high heat. All the bacon and stir fry for 2-3 mins
- Add the garlic and stir fry for 30 seconds, then set aside
- Drain the spaghetti and add to the bacon mixture in the pan
- Add the eggs, and half the parmesan, season and toss
- (The heat from the spaghetti will partly cook the egg, but still leave it moist. Note: if you are pregnant, don’t eat raw or partially cooked eggs)
- Divide the spaghetti carbonara between 4 bowls, garnish with flat leaf parsley, sprinkle with parmesan and serve
On Slimming World, this recipe is SYN FREE on the Extra Easy plan. Add 6 syns if you are not using the parmesan as a Healthy Extra.
So far on my weight loss journey, I’ve shifted 4 stones, and it is meals like this that have really helped! It is so quick to do- mega easy (it has to be when you are hungry!) and my daughter loves it. She is always asking “Mum, when are we having spaghetti carbonara’?!” For a family evening meal I serve it with garlic bread slices but today I’m having it for lunch, so I’ll just have a smaller serving on its own. Here is what I’m enjoying today! (The glass contains lemonade BTW! I can’t have wine at lunch!!)
This post is an entry into the #eggmainsinminutes Linky, sponsored by British Lion Eggs on the BritMums network and here is the Main Meals in Minutes site.
You can enter your own blog post for this linky at BritMums here. The first 100 entries in the linky get a cookbook by Michel Roux “Eggs”, and as I’m always cooking with eggs, I can’t wait to see what else I can do with this book!

I love carbonara , use single cream instead of the eggs though !
Ooh! Single cream sounds fab but I have to stick with my slimming eggy version! My hips won’t forgive me otherwise!!!
