Silky Butternut Squash Carbonara
A lightened-up twist on the classic pasta dish featuring spiralized butternut squash noodles tossed in a velvety sauce made with cashew cream, fresh herbs, and smoky turkey bacon. Each forkful delivers the perfect balance of comfort and nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium butternut squash, spiralized
4 slices turkey bacon, chopped
1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked for 4 hours
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
PREPARATION
Soak cashews in hot water for 4 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse.
Spiralize the butternut squash into noodle-shaped strands using a spiralizer.
In a food processor, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, 1 clove of minced garlic, and 1/2 cup water. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped turkey bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.
In the same skillet, add remaining minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the butternut squash noodles to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender but still slightly firm.
Pour the cashew cream sauce over the noodles and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Return the crispy turkey bacon to the pan and toss to combine.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
