One theory: don't play it.

Mabey play Qe2,

e5 is in keeping with the scotch gambit , but also kng5 is an option here . the sac looks too early though and id have put in a c2 c3 to allow for qb3 before hand , i think black can survive this early sac tho and then white will be a piece down

I like having fun with the game...such a sequence would be playable in Bullet and Blitz games.
