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!
