For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet while cooking the garlic. Ensure the squash is cooked until very tender, as this will make it easier to create the spaghetti-like strands. When adding the egg and cheese mixture, stir constantly over low heat to prevent the eggs from scrambling. The goal is to create a smooth and creamy sauce. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the squash halves cut-side down. (5 minutes)
02
Step
45 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the squash skin is easily pierced with a fork, approximately 45 minutes.
03
Step
10 mins
While the squash is baking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. (5-10 minutes). Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the bacon grease in the skillet. Once the bacon is cool enough to handle, crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
04
Step
2 mins
Allow the baked squash to cool slightly until you can handle it comfortably. Using a fork, scrape the flesh of the squash into spaghetti-like strands. Add the squash noodles and minced garlic to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low.
05
Step
3 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the squash and stir continuously for 3 minutes, ensuring the eggs cook gently and create a creamy sauce. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the crumbled bacon, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
