INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Spaghetti Squash (~155g)
4 slices Turkey Bacon (~112g total)
1 large Egg
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (~80g)
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds, drizzle lightly with salt and pepper, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 35-40 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, place turkey bacon slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat until crispy on both sides. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, part-skim ricotta, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to gently scrape out the strands into a large mixing bowl.
Quickly toss the warm spaghetti squash strands with the egg and cheese mixture to create a creamy sauce. The residual heat will lightly cook the egg, mimicking a carbonara.
Chop the crispy turkey bacon and fold it into the spaghetti squash mixture.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, then serve immediately.
