Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds spaghetti squash
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 oz finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 oz chopped turkey bacon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place halves flesh side down on the baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, shred the squash into noodle-like strands using a fork.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, eggs, and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy (about 5-7 minutes), then stir in minced garlic until fragrant.
  6. Add shredded spaghetti squash and salt to the skillet; toss to combine.
  7. Remove from heat and slowly pour in the egg mixture, tossing quickly to create a creamy sauce.
  8. Serve garnished with parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
