INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Spaghetti Squash (155g)
2 slices Turkey Bacon (28g)
2 large Eggs (100g)
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (10g)
2 tbsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt (30g)
1/2 cup Green Peas (80g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, drizzle lightly with salt, and place cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 35-40 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, chop the turkey bacon into bite-size pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, crisp the bacon until lightly browned. Remove and set aside, leaving a small amount of the bacon fat in the pan.
Finely mince the garlic and add it to the pan with the remaining bacon fat. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, non-fat Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the flesh into strands. Return the squash strands to the skillet with garlic, then lower the heat.
Quickly stir in the egg mixture, constantly stirring to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs. The residual heat will gently cook the sauce.
Fold in the crisped turkey bacon and green peas until evenly distributed and heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve immediately with an extra grind of black pepper on top.
