Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Optionally line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together room temperature eggs, egg yolks, and parmesan cheese until combined.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add turkey bacon, and sauté until crispy (5-7 minutes). Stir in minced garlic until fragrant.
  6. Add shredded spaghetti squash and salt to the skillet, tossing everything together evenly.
  7. Remove from heat and gently mix in the egg mixture using tongs until well combined.
  8. Serve topped with chopped parsley and additional parmesan if desired.
