- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 4 ounces turkey bacon
- 4 ounces chicken ham
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
- Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then place cut side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, until tender.
- While the squash is baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and chop into pieces.
- In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and Parmesan cheese.
- Once the squash is done, scrape the insides with a fork to create spaghetti-like strands.
- Add the spaghetti squash to the skillet with garlic, remove from heat, and mix in the egg mixture quickly to create a creamy sauce.
- Fold in the turkey bacon and chicken ham, season with additional salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, you can omit the meat and add more vegetables.
- Make sure to mix the eggs off the heat to avoid scrambling.
