You Will Need (8 things)

  • Parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic
  • 3 Slices of Bacon
  • 1 cup Grated parmesan Cheese
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 Egg(s)
  • 1 Large Spaghetti squash

Steps (10 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut open the spaghetti squash and scrape out the seeds.

  2. 2

    Place the squash cut side up in a microwave proof dish.

  3. 3

    Pour a 1/4 cup of water in each center and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 8-10 minutes until soft.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile crack the eggs in a small bowl and stir in the parmesan cheese. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Dice the bacon and fry until crisp over medium heat. Drain most of the fat.

  6. 6

    Press or grate the garlic into the pan with the bacon and cook for 1-2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Uncover the squash and reserve 1/2 cup of the starchy water leftover. This will help to thicken the sauce later.

  8. 8

    Scrape out the spaghetti squash and add it to the pan.

  9. 9

    Pour the egg mixture into the squash and stir until fully combined.

  10. 10

    Add the reserved water, salt, pepper and parsley.
