Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Optionally, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and place cut side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 30-45 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Once baked, let cool slightly before shredding into strands with a fork.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together room temperature eggs, egg yolks, and grated Parmesan until smooth.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, cook turkey bacon until crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  6. Stir in shredded spaghetti squash and salt; mix until heated through.
  7. Remove from heat and toss with the egg mixture using tongs to form a creamy sauce.
  8. Serve garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
