INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Spaghetti Squash
4 slices Turkey Bacon
2 large Eggs
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-35 minutes until tender. Once cooled slightly, use a fork to scrape out the strands and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until it becomes crispy. Remove the bacon, chop it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside, leaving a little bit of the rendered fat in the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, nonfat Greek yogurt, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and plenty of black pepper.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the leftover bacon fat and sauté briefly until fragrant. Lower the heat, then add the spaghetti squash strands, tossing gently to warm through.
Remove the skillet from heat and quickly stir in the egg and yogurt mixture, ensuring the residual heat lightly cooks the eggs, forming a creamy sauce without scrambling them.
Fold in the chopped turkey bacon and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy carbonara twist!
