INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Spaghetti Squash
2 slices Turkey Bacon
1 large Egg
1 large Egg White
1/2 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Extra Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, drizzle with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 35-40 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon and cook until crispy. Remove, crumble into pieces, and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and a teaspoon of olive oil, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg, egg white, plain nonfat Greek yogurt (both portions combined), and grated parmesan cheese. Season with black pepper.
Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to gently scrape out the strands into a large mixing bowl.
Pour the warm garlic-infused oil over the squash and immediately add the egg and yogurt mixture. Toss quickly to combine while the heat lightens the sauce slightly without fully cooking the eggs.
Stir in the crumbled turkey bacon, mix until evenly distributed, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of extra parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
