Spaghetti Squash Carbonara

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

This makes a very filling side dish.

Yield: 6 servings, each with 6 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of fiber, for a total of 5 grams of usable carbs and 11 grams of protein.

 

INGREDIENTS 

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups cooked spaghetti squash
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s crisp. Remove from the pan, and pour off all but a couple tablespoons of the grease.
  2. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the grated Parmesan cheese. Add the cooked spaghetti squash to the skillet with the hot grease and add the crushed garlic. Toss for 2 to 3 minutes until the squash is coated with the bacon fat and garlic flavor.
  3. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spaghetti squash and continue tossing until the eggs are cooked and the cheese is melted. Crumble in the bacon, toss, and serve.
