Healthy Pasta Carbonara by Bill Telepan
CBS News asked New York chef Bill Telepan to try a healthy make-over of one of his most popular dishes - pea carbonara. Telepan says it's one of his daughter's favorites and kid approved.
Traditionally, pea carbonara is a pasta dish made with pancetta, egg yolk and butter. American chefs often add heavy cream to the caloric landslide.
This healthier version replaces the pancetta with flavorful mushrooms, exchanges butter for olive oil - a much healthier fat - and ditches the heavy cream.
The dish with classic egg yolk on top clocks in at only 323 calories and 17g of fat. Or, ditch the egg, and cut it down to 269 calories and 12g of fat.
