Creamy Turkey Bacon Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
Enjoy a lighter twist on traditional carbonara by using spaghetti squash as a base, crisp turkey bacon, and a creamy, tangy sauce made with egg and nonfat Greek yogurt. This dish offers a satisfying mix of textures and flavors, with a slight nutty tang from Parmesan and a hint of garlic.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Spaghetti Squash (155g)
2 slices Turkey Bacon (approx. 56g total)
2 large Eggs
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt (60g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds, drizzle lightly with salt and pepper, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 35-40 minutes.
While the squash roasts, crisp the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it is nicely browned. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, nonfat Greek yogurt, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
Once the squash is done, use a fork to gently scrape out the strands, creating spaghetti-like strands. Return the squash strands to a pan over low heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped turkey bacon to the squash and stir for about 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove the pan from heat and slowly pour in the egg and yogurt mixture, tossing quickly to create a creamy sauce that lightly cooks the eggs without scrambling them.
Season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately for a warm, comforting dish.
