A few years ago there was a recipe is Cooking Light for Spaghetti Carbonara using Turkey Bacon....I lost the recipe during a recipe move. Does anyone have this recipe they can share?

Here's another one. Problem is I don't have the source for this recipe, so it may not be Cooking Light.

Spaghetti Carbonara

salt
freshly ground pepper

Directions:

Add the wine, increase heat, bring wine to a boil. Cook until it has reduced by about half. Pour mixture into a large serving bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the egg substitute and parsley. When pasta is done, drain and add it immediately to the bacon mixture.
