Creamy Turkey Bacon Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
Savor a lighter take on classic carbonara using roasted spaghetti squash as the pasta base, crispy turkey bacon, a creamy egg and Greek yogurt sauce, and a hint of Parmesan. This dish delivers satisfying flavors and textures, making it perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups roasted Spaghetti Squash
3 slices Turkey Bacon
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, drizzle with a little olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast cut-side down on a baking sheet for about 35-40 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, crisp the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s browned and slightly crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside on paper towels to drain.
In the same skillet, add a teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Once the spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to gently scrape out the flesh into strands. Transfer the strands into a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Chop the cooked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces and add to the spaghetti squash along with the sautéed garlic.
Pour the egg mixture over the warm squash and bacon. Toss quickly to create a creamy sauce that clings to the squash strands without scrambling the egg. The residual heat will gently cook the egg mixture.
Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley on top and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
