INGREDIENTS: 

1 medium spaghetti squash

3 tablespoons heavy cream

4-6 oz bacon, cubed and cooked until almost crisp

3 oz parmesan cheese, grated 

4 large egg yolks

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ teaspoon chile flakes (optional) 

Chopped parsley leaves (optional) 

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet, cut-side down. 

Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. 

Meanwhile, whisk 4 eggs yolks, 2 whole eggs and cheese in a bowl until combined, then add freshly ground pepper.

Cook chopped bacon and 2 tablespoons of oil until slightly just before crispy.

Discard the oil from the pan and add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Scrape out the innards of the spaghetti squash into a pan. Turn off the heat at this point and add your egg and cheese mixture to the pan, stirring lightly for a minute.

Add the heavy cream and salt and pepper to taste. You won’t need too much salt, as the bacon adds a fair amount of salt.

Add the bacon to the pan and toss. 

Add chile flakes, some more grated parmesan, as well as freshly ground pepper and parsley and serve!
