New Recipe!!! Spaghetti Squash Carbonara

Spaghetti Squash Carbonara

 

We all know I love my spaghetti squash so here is another interesting recipe. Not a big fan of it, but I am not a fan of eggs either. But I wanted to share it with you so that you could decide for yourself. I love how there are so many ways that you can make this squash and ESPCIALLY that it takes the place of noodles for all of us GLUTEN FREE friends!


 Ingredients:

1 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper
1 large spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds)
4 slices TURKEY bacon, cut into small strips crosswise
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup Organic chicken or Vegetable  broth
2 egg yolks plus 1 whole egg
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese OR Nutritional Yeast (which is what I use)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Prick the squash all over with a fork. 

Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 3/4 tsp. pepper.

Roast on a foil lined pan  1 to 1 1/2 hours. (I did 60 mins but would go longer next time) 

Let cool a bit. 

Slice in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and shred the squash with a fork. 
 
Transfer to a large bowl.

In a large saute pan, over medium heat, cook the bacon until it becomes crispy. 

Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute.

Add the broth and cook until the liquid has completely evaporated.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs together with the cheese.

Season with the remaining salt and pepper.

Combine the eggs with the bacon mixture, warming the eggs in the pan. (Do not let the eggs cook through.)

Add the spaghetti squash and toss to thoroughly combine and until squash is heated through.

Adjust seasoning, if necessary and serve immediately.
