Ingredients

Bacon Carbonara Ingredient List

  • 1 spaghetti squash halved lengthwise and deseeded
  • 1 Spanish onion sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 strips cooked bacon finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 ounce goat cheese crumbles
  • 4 cloves roasted garlic
  • 2 tablespoons clarified butter
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Gather all the ingredients and cooking tools.
  • Half the spaghetti squash.
  • Thin slice Spanish onion.
  • Finely chop cooked bacon.
  • Crumble goat cheese.

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the squash face down in a baking dish or on a sheet pan, cover with foil, and bake in the oven on the middle rack for 45 minutes.
  • While the squash is baking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped onions and a pinch of salt, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir and break up the onions, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for an additional 15 minutes until caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine chopped bacon, eggs, goat cheese, and roasted garlic. Gently stir to mix, then set aside.
  • Once the squash is cooked, remove it from the oven and flip it with tongs. Use a fork to loosen the squash strands by running it lengthwise down the center and around the edges.
  • Transfer the loosened squash to the pan with the cooked onions, along with any bacon grease from the baking dish. Heat the pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the egg mixture to the pan with squash and onions, stirring to combine all ingredients evenly.
  • Taste the dish, adjust the seasonings as needed, and serve hot.
