One of the things I miss most on a wheat-free diet is pasta. I know there are several non-wheat pastas available. I just haven’t had the nerve to try them yet. What if gluten-free noodles are as disappointing as gluten-free bread? This recipe, though, requires no intestinal fortitude.

Spaghetti Squash Carbonara

4 cups cooked spaghetti squash

4 slices raw bacon, chopped

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 large eggs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

In a large pan, over medium-low heat, cook bacon until it becomes crispy. Add garlic and cook, stirring about a minute. Add broth and continue cooking until liquid is reduced by half. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together with cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Combine the eggs with bacon mixture, warming eggs in the pan. (Don’t let eggs cook through.) Add squash and toss to thoroughly. Serve while still warm.
