Instructions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package directions for al dente pasta. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water for later.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-low heat, add garlic and red pepper flakes, saute till garlic is softened, about 2 minutes. In separate bowl, combine eggs and grated cheese, mix well with a fork. Generously season with salt and pepper.

  3. Drain pasta and add to skillet with garlic mixture and combine well using tongs. Stir in 1/2 of the cheese mixture and quickly mix to evenly coat the pasta and prevent the eggs from scrambling. Add balance of cheese mixture with 1/2 cup of pasta water to make a creamy sauce. Add additional pasta for desired thickness of sauce.

  4. Garnish with parsley, more parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

Why this Spicy Carbonara Spaghetti works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Spicy Carbonara Spaghetti that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
