Ingredients

  • 345 g (12 oz) whole wheat linguine
  • 250 ml (1 cup) shelled edamame beans
  • 8 slices (208 g/7 oz) turkey bacon, diced
  • 1 French shallot, minced
  • 1 clove (5 ml/1 tsp) garlic, minced
  • 1 drizzle of olive oil
  • 1 can (354 ml) 0% evaporated milk
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • Pepper and salt

Preparation

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the bacon, shallots and garlic in the oil.
  2. When bacon is slightly crisp, add evaporated milk and half the Parmesan cheese. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring with a spoon a few times.
  3. In a pot of moderately salted boiling water, cook linguine and edamame for 5 minutes. Remove 125 mL (1/2 cup) of the cooking water and set aside. Drain.
  4. In a bowl, combine egg yolks and 60 mL (1/4 cup) of the cooking water. Season with pepper and salt. Set aside.
  5. Add linguine, edamame and 60 mL (1/4 cup) of the cooking water to the pan with the remaining sauce. Stir lightly over low heat for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  6. Pour egg yolk mixture over pasta. Add remaining Parmesan cheese on top. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Serve immediately.
