Creamy Turkey Bacon Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
Savor a lighter twist on a classic carbonara with tender strands of roasted spaghetti squash enveloped in a creamy egg-based sauce, crisp turkey bacon, and a hint of Parmesan. This dish delivers a comforting, rich flavor while keeping it clean and balanced.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups spaghetti squash (cooked)
5 slices turkey bacon (cooked)
1 whole egg
4 egg whites
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil (or use a light cooking spray) on the cut sides. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-35 minutes or until tender.
While the squash is roasting, chop the turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, crisp the turkey bacon, then add a minced garlic clove for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the whole egg and egg whites. Stir in the grated Parmesan, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a mixing bowl. While still warm, gently fold in the egg mixture and the crispy turkey bacon. The residual heat will lightly cook the eggs, creating a creamy, carbonara-style sauce.
Mix until well combined, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
