INGREDIENTS
1 cup Spaghetti Squash (150g)
4 slices Turkey Bacon (112g)
1 whole Egg (50g)
3 Egg Whites (99g)
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (10g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and drizzle lightly with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 35-40 minutes until tender and easily shredded with a fork.
While the squash is roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tsp olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crisp. Once crispy, chop them into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites with the grated Parmesan cheese. Season lightly with pepper.
When the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large bowl.
Quickly pour the egg and Parmesan mixture over the hot spaghetti squash and toss vigorously to create a creamy sauce that lightly cooks the eggs using the residual heat.
Fold in the crispy turkey bacon and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
