INGREDIENTS
2 cups Spaghetti Squash
2 slices Turkey Bacon
1 Whole Egg
2 Egg Whites
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
½ tsp Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 35-40 minutes until tender and easily shredded with a fork.
While the squash is roasting, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Once done, chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg whites, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Once the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to gently scrape out the flesh into strands.
Return the squash strands into a warm pan over low heat, add the cooked turkey bacon, and pour in the egg and cheese mixture. Toss continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the strands without scrambling the eggs.
Finish by stirring in fresh parsley, adjust seasoning to taste, and serve immediately.
