Sounds weird, but tastes really good! Is good hot, cold or at room temperature.

Ingredients

• Cooking Spray
• 3 C sliced cremini mushrooms
• 4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4" pieces
• 1-1/4 C thinly sliced leek (about 2)
• 1/2 C 1% low-fat milk
• 2 tsp butter, melted
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 4 large egg whites
• 3 large eggs
• 2 C hot cooked linguine (about 4 oz uncooked)
• 1/3 C chopped fresh basil
• 1/2 C (2 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 360 degrees.

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crisp; remove from pan. Discard fat from pan. Add mushrooms and leek; cook 6 minutes or until leek is tender, stirring frequently.

Combine milk and next 5 ingredient (through eggs) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add leek mixture, bacon, pasta, and basil; toss gently to combine.

Pour mixture into 9" pie pan sprayed with cooking spray. Top with cheese. Bake about 40 minutes until set and golden brown on top. Let cool about 15 minutes. Cut into 8 wedges. 1 serving = 2 wedges.
