This dish uses spaghetti squash as a light, wholesome base to deliver a delightful mix of textures and flavors that satisfy comfort food cravings while keeping the meal clean and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cooked Spaghetti Squash
1 cup roasted & pureed Butternut Squash
5 slices Turkey Bacon
2 large Eggs
1 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half, remove the seeds, and place cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 30-40 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel, cube, and roast the butternut squash until soft. Once roasted, blend the cubes into a smooth puree.
Crisp the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it becomes crunchy. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the grated Parmesan cheese.
Using a fork, scrape out the strands of the roasted spaghetti squash into a large mixing bowl. Add the butternut squash puree and mix gently.
Quickly pour the egg mixture over the warm squash, stirring rapidly so the residual heat cooks the eggs into a creamy sauce without scrambling them.
Fold in the crumbled turkey bacon. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately for the best creamy texture and enjoy your comforting carbonara twist.
