Total: 40 min
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
4 ounces pancetta, diced (about 3/4 cup)
1 small shallot, diced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Halve and seed the spaghetti squash; roast, then scrape into strands (see Cook's Note).

Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon; set aside. Add the shallot and thyme to the skillet and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.

Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the peas and parmesan. Continue cooking until the sauce is thick and creamy, about 1 more minute. Remove from the heat.

Add the squash and pancetta to the sauce. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring, until combined, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the parsley.
