About the Recipe

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Set your oven to 375°F (191°C).

    • Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise.

    • Remove the seeds.

    • Place the halves on a lined baking sheet, cut side down.

    • Bake for about 35-40 minutes, until a fork can easily pierce the skin.

  2. Prepare the Bacon Mixture:

    • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

    • Saute the garlic and bacon bits until the bacon is sizzling (about 2-3 minutes).

  3. Add Green Peas:

    • If the peas are raw, saute them for 3-5 more minutes, until they are bright green.

    • If using pre-cooked or canned peas, you can proceed to the next step right away.

    • Remove from heat.

  4. Whisk the Creamy Mixture:

    • In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, eggs, and Parmesan cheese.

  5. Assemble the Dish:

    • When the spaghetti squash is done baking, use a fork to pull out the “noodles”.

    • While they are still hot, stir in the egg-Parmesan mixture, then add the bacon mixture.

    • Season with sea salt to taste.

    • Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
