Ingredients

Scale

Spaghetti Squash:

  • 4 Pounds Spaghetti Squash (about 2 small or 1 large)

Egg Mixture:

  • 2 Egg Yolks, room temperature
  • 2 Eggs, room temperature
  • 4 oz Parmesan, Finely Grated

Additional Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces turkey Bacon, roughly chopped
  • 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Parsley, chopped (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F. Optionally, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Spaghetti Squash: Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and place flesh side down on a baking sheet. Roast until fork-tender, about 30-45 minutes.
  3. Shred the Squash: Once cooked, cool and shred the squash into strands using a fork.
  4. Prepare the Egg Mixture: Whisk together eggs, yolks, and parmesan in a bowl.
  5. Cook the turkey Bacon: In a skillet, cook turkey bacon until crispy. Add garlic, then toss in the spaghetti squash and salt.
  6. Combine: Remove from heat and toss the squash, then slowly mix in the egg mixture.
  7. Serve: Plate the carbonara with parsley and extra parmesan.

Notes

  • Be careful when adding the egg mixture to the hot squash to prevent scrambling the eggs.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
