Creamy Turkey Bacon Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
A reimagined twist on classic carbonara that uses tender strands of roasted spaghetti squash, crispy turkey bacon, and a creamy sauce made with eggs, egg whites, low-fat milk, and Parmesan. This lighter version delivers a satisfying blend of textures and savory flavors perfect for a balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Spaghetti Squash (155g)
3 slices Turkey Bacon (84g)
1 Large Egg (50g)
2 Egg Whites (66g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk (60g)
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
2 oz Turkey Sausage (56g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare the spaghetti squash by slicing it in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Roast, cut-side down, on a baking sheet for about 30-35 minutes until tender and easily shredded with a fork.
While the squash roasts, cook the turkey bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
In the same skillet, add the turkey sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, low-fat milk, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Once the spaghetti squash is roasted, use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti-like strands into the skillet with the cooked sausage. Toss gently.
Pour the egg and milk mixture over the warm squash and meat. Stir quickly to create a creamy sauce, ensuring that the residual heat cooks the eggs without scrambling them.
Crumble the crispy turkey bacon over the top and mix lightly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the creamy and satisfying flavors of your light carbonara.
