Creamy Turkey Bacon Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
A delightful twist on the classic carbonara featuring tender, roasted spaghetti squash strands, crispy turkey bacon, and a luscious creamy sauce made from egg, Greek yogurt, and Parmesan cheese. This dish offers a well-balanced plate with a rich flavor profile, punctuated by a hint of garlic and freshly cracked black pepper.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups cooked spaghetti squash
4 slices turkey bacon
1 large egg
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Halve the spaghetti squash, scoop out the seeds, and drizzle lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-35 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Set aside on paper towels to drain, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, nonfat Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and a pinch of black pepper. Set the creamy mixture aside.
Once the squash is roasted, use a fork to gently shred the flesh into spaghetti-like strands and transfer to a warm serving bowl.
Quickly stir in the chopped turkey bacon, then drizzle the egg-yogurt mixture over the warm squash. Toss gently to create a silky, creamy sauce that lightly cooks the egg mixture.
Adjust seasonings with extra salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
