INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Spaghetti Squash (155g)
4 slices Turkey Bacon
1 Large Egg
1/3 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (approx 80g)
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds, drizzle lightly with salt and pepper, and roast face-down on a baking sheet for about 40 minutes or until tender.
While the squash roasts, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, crumble it into bite-size pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg, nonfat Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Stir in the minced garlic and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large mixing bowl.
Quickly pour the egg-yogurt mixture over the hot squash and gently mix so the heat lightly cooks the sauce, creating a creamy coating.
Fold in the crispy turkey bacon and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired. Top with the remaining Parmesan and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy this balanced, flavorful twist on carbonara.
