One of my coworkers swears by spaghetti squash; she cooks it all the time and uses it as a healthy substitute for pasta. I had never tried spaghetti squash before creating this recipe, but with her urging I bought the first spaghetti squash I saw and created a Spaghetti Squash Carbonara!
Tai, like me, was worried about how it would taste. Pasta is one of our favorite dinners and we were a bit apprehensive of a healthier substitute. But we found that we loved it! The squash has a sweet taste to it and pairs very well with the Scampi Butter by Epicurean Butter. The creamy buttery sauce is magnificent and the bacon…well who doesn’t love bacon 😉
