INGREDIENTS
1 cup Spaghetti Squash (155g)
2 slices Turkey Bacon (70g)
2 large Eggs (approx. 100g total)
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt (30g)
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 clove Garlic
1 pinch Black Pepper
1 pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, drizzle with a little olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-35 minutes until tender. Once done, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a bowl.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until it turns crispy, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Heat a small amount of olive oil in the skillet over low heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the roasted spaghetti squash strands, stirring gently.
Remove the skillet from heat and quickly stir in the egg and yogurt mixture; the residual heat will create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Mix in the crispy turkey bacon pieces and adjust seasonings to taste. Serve immediately, enjoying the blend of creamy sauce and the smoky crunch of turkey bacon.
