Ingredients
Squash
- 2 pounds spaghetti squash seeds removed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 /2 tablespoon butter
- black pepper freshly ground
Carbonara component
- 1/2 /2 pound Bacon cut into small/medium strips
- 1 tablespoon shallot minced
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1/4 /4 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 2 egg yolks and 1 whole egg
- 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Brush the cut surface of the squash with melted butter, season with salt and pepper.
- Place on a plate with ~1/4" water and cover. Microwave for 7 minutes, then add 90 seconds at a time until it's done to your liking. Mine took about 12 minutes.
- Let it cool for a few minutes, then gently pull the squash threads out with a fork.
- Over medium heat, sauté bacon until just about crispy.
- Pour off most of the fat, then add shallots and garlic and sauté until brown. Add your white wine or broth and sauté until the liquid is completely evaporated.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cheese, and parsley. Season with salt.
- Add eggs to the bacon and warm it up, while continuously mixing to prevent the eggs from fully cooking.
- Add squash to the pan and toss until warmed through. Add more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Top with some more parsley and serve.
