Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- While the squash is roasting, cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the flesh into 'spaghetti' strands and transfer to a large bowl. Add the bacon and garlic mixture to the bowl and toss to combine.
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spaghetti squash and toss until the strands are evenly coated. The residual heat from the squash will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce.
- Divide the spaghetti squash carbonara among serving plates, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Spaghetti Squash Carbonara is a delightful twist on the classic Italian pasta dish. Originating in the Lazio region of Italy, carbonara is traditionally made with eggs, cheese, pancetta, and black pepper. The spaghetti squash version replaces the pasta with roasted strands of the squash, creating a lighter, gluten-free alternative. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Giada De Laurentiis have popularized this inventive take on carbonara, infusing it with their own unique flair. The key to a perfect Spaghetti Squash Carbonara lies in achieving the right balance of creamy texture and savory flavors. For the best version of this dish, head to authentic Italian eateries or try making it at home with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
