Keto Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
A low-carb twist on the classic carbonara dish, using spaghetti squash instead of pasta.
Ingredients
- Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Heavy cream (1/4 cup)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
- Eggs (2 large)
- Bacon (6 slices, chopped)
- Spaghetti squash (1 medium)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
- Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender.
- While the squash is roasting, cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
- Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands, resembling spaghetti.
- Add the spaghetti squash strands to the skillet with the cooked bacon, and pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the eggs are cooked and the mixture is creamy.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
