Spaghetti Squash Carbonara Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen Total: 35 min Active: 35 min Yield: 4 servings Level: Easy Ingredients 2 large spaghetti squash (2 1/2 pounds each) 3/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving, optional 1 large egg yolk Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/4-inch cubes 1 small clove garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/3 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped A green salad, for serving Directions Cut the squash in half crosswise using a serrated knife. Scoop out and discard the seeds with a spoon. Put the squash onto a microwave safe plate, cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high until very tender and the flesh can easily be flaked with a fork, 13 to 14 minutes. Use a fork to scrape the sides of the squash into spaghetti-like strands into a bowl. Meanwhile, mix together the Parmesan, egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper in a medium bowl. Cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the heavy cream, scraping up any brown bits in the pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, add the squash strands and toss until well coated. Add the Parmesan mixture and toss to gently cook the eggs and make a creamy sauce. Sir in the parsley. Divide among 4 plates and serve with more Parmesan, if using, and a green salad on the side. Copyright 2017 Television Food Network, G.P. All rights reserved.
