INGREDIENTS
3 slices Turkey Bacon (~84g)
1 cup cooked Spaghetti Squash (~155g)
1 large Egg
3 Egg Whites
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 Garlic Clove
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare the spaghetti squash by slicing it in half lengthwise, removing the seeds, and drizzling with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until tender, about 30-40 minutes.
While the squash is roasting, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, egg whites, low-fat Greek yogurt, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Mince or grate the garlic and add it to the mixture along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to gently scrape out the strands, resembling spaghetti. Transfer the squash strands to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the creamy egg mixture over the warm squash strands and gently toss to combine. The residual heat from the squash will help thicken the sauce. Stir in the crispy turkey bacon pieces.
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, flavorful twist on carbonara.
