Creamy Turkey Bacon Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
Savor a twist on classic carbonara featuring tender strands of roasted spaghetti squash, crispy turkey bacon, and a velvety, light cream sauce. This dish offers a comforting, savory blend of textures and a subtle tang from Greek yogurt and parmesan, perfect for a nutritious dinner.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups Spaghetti Squash
3 slices Turkey Bacon
1 large Egg
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 garlic clove
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F and cut the spaghetti squash in half. Remove seeds and drizzle with a bit of olive oil.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, crisp the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, nonfat Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth.
When the squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large mixing bowl.
Quickly toss the warm squash strands with the cooked turkey bacon, crushed garlic (sauté lightly in olive oil if preferred for more mellow flavor), and the creamy egg-yogurt mixture, stirring vigorously so the warmth from the squash slightly cooks the sauce creating a silky consistency.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan or freshly ground black pepper if desired.
