Ingredients
Method
Prepare Spaghetti Squash
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Cook Pancetta
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced pancetta until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Mix Carbonara Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Combine Ingredients
- Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, use a fork to shred the flesh into spaghetti-like strands. Add the squash to the skillet with pancetta and garlic, mixing well.
- Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour the egg mixture over the squash, stirring vigorously to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs.
Serve
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute pancetta with sautéed mushrooms or smoked tofu.
