An accidentally gluten free holiday meal that everyone in your family is sure to love? Sign us up! Chef Kristen recommends a spaghetti squash carbonara using squash from the farm, local fontina, and of course our house-made El Puente hot sauce!
1 Carnation Farms spaghetti squash
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
8 ounces pancetta or bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
1/2 cup grated Ferndale Fontina, grated
Cut in half, scrape out seeds, drizzle with olive and sea salt.
Bake squash cut side down, in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Once cool enough, scrape flesh with a fork into 'spaghetti strands'.
Meanwhile, cook pancetta in remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil until lightly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside. Add egg yolks, water, and freshly ground black pepper to a large saute pan, and whisk thoroughly.
Transfer hot squash “spaghetti” into the pan and add butter and cooked pancetta, along with all rendered fat in the pan. Toss thoroughly with forks until evenly mixed. If desired, reserve a tablespoon or two of cooked pancetta to garnish the top once the final dish is baked. Add the Parmigiano and fontina cheeses, and toss again. Taste for salt and add more if needed.
Return to the oven at 400 degrees F, until heated through, about 15 minutes. To serve, scatter reserved pancetta over the top and sprinkle with a little more grated cheese and parsley.
