Ingredients
Crushed red pepper flakes ¼ tsp or 0.08g
Directions
- Spiralize sweet potato or carefully use a peeler to cut into noodles; set aside.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Add in your sweet potato noodles and cook for about 5-7 minutes, tossing frequently, or until noodles are cooked to your preference.
- In a separate skillet (while you cook the sweet potato noodles), add another large skillet over medium heat and add in the olive oil. Once the oil heats, add in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds and then add in the onion.
- Cook the onion for 2-3 minutes or until it begins to soften and then add in the bacon cubes. Cook, stirring often, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- While the bacon and noodles are cooking, combine the eggs and parmesan cheese in a bowl and whisk together until not very clumpy. Season with the salt and pepper and set aside.
- Once the noodles are done, add to the skillet with the bacon, toss to combine and then turn off the heat.
- Slowly, pour in the sauce, stirring constantly, over the noodles. It's important to do this slowly and stir constantly so that the eggs cook while they heat up in the noodles. Use as much sauce as you want until the pasta has enough sauce for your preference.
- Serve into bowls and enjoy!
