Spaghetti carbonara

4 rashers bacon, all visible fat removed (or Quorn bacon-style pieces – see tip)
3 eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp fat free natural fromage frais
2 level tbsp grated parmesan cheese
small bunch of chives
397g/14oz boiled spaghetti

1. Roughly chop the bacon and dry fry in a non-stick pan for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

2. Lightly beat the eggs, season to taste and add the fromage frais and 1 tablespoon of parmesan. Chop the chives and add to the mixture, reserving some for garnish.

3. Add the spaghetti and egg mixture to the bacon in the pan and stir gently over a low heat until the egg starts to set.

4. Serve immediately sprinkled with the remaining parmesan and chives.

Tip: To make a vegetarian carbonara, swap the bacon for Quorn bacon-style pieces (which are Free), this makes the recipe just 1 Syn on all choices!
