Step-by-Step Instructions for Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes until tender.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole eggs, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  3. In a skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy (5-7 minutes). Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  4. Once the squash is ready, scrape the strands into the skillet with bacon and garlic. Toss gently for about 2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and quickly toss the warm spaghetti squash with the egg mixture until combined and creamy.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
