INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Spaghetti Squash (~155g)
3 slices Turkey Bacon (~75g)
1 large Egg (~50g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (~120g)
2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese (~10g)
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, drizzle lightly with salt and garlic powder, and place cut-side down on the baking sheet.
Roast the squash for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Once done, use a fork to scrape out the strands of squash into a bowl.
In a skillet, cook the turkey bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, chop or crumble the bacon and set aside, keeping a little bit of the rendered fat in the pan for extra flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, nonfat Greek yogurt, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of black pepper.
Add the roasted spaghetti squash to the skillet with turkey bacon and gently toss. Remove the skillet from heat and quickly stir in the egg-yogurt mixture, allowing the residual heat to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the egg.
Mix thoroughly until the sauce coats the squash evenly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, savory twist on traditional carbonara.
