Creamy Turkey Bacon Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
Enjoy a lighter twist on the classic carbonara with tender roasted spaghetti squash, crispy turkey bacon, and a silky egg-based sauce accented by a touch of Parmesan and garlic. This dish offers a comforting and indulgent flavor with a balanced profile to support your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Spaghetti Squash (155g)
3 slices Turkey Bacon (approx. 84g total)
1 large Egg (50g)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and lightly brush the flesh with olive oil. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the turkey bacon. Cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the bacon, crumble it once cooled.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the spaghetti squash is roasted, use a fork to gently scrape the flesh into strands in a large pan. Add the minced garlic and warm it gently over low heat (do not let it brown).
Remove the squash from heat and quickly stir in the egg and Parmesan mixture, allowing the residual heat to create a creamy, silky sauce. Mix in the crumbled turkey bacon and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately for a comforting, light carbonara that fits perfectly within your protein and calorie targets.
