  • Author: Grandma Betty
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 medium spaghetti squash
– 4 ounces pancetta, diced
– 3 large eggs
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– Salt, to taste
– Black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these steps to create a delicious plate of Spaghetti Squash Carbonara:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
3. Place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
4. Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced pancetta until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
6. Once the squash is done baking, allow it to cool slightly before using a fork to scrape out the strands into a large bowl.
7. Quickly toss the warm spaghetti squash with the pancetta to combine, allowing the heat to gently warm the egg mixture.
8. Pour the egg mixture over the squash and pancetta, tossing quickly to coat evenly. The residual heat will help cook the eggs into a creamy sauce.
9. Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
10. Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

With these straightforward steps, you’ll be able to create a meal that combines sophistication with comfort effortlessly.
