INGREDIENTS
2 cups Spaghetti Squash
3 slices Turkey Bacon
1 Large Egg
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoons Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
Pinch of Black Pepper
Salt to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 35-40 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
Once the squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and Greek yogurt until smooth. Season with a pinch of black pepper and a little salt.
Quickly toss the warm spaghetti squash with the egg mixture, allowing the residual heat to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the egg.
Stir in the crispy turkey bacon and chopped parsley, combining well.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, then serve immediately.
