BACON SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Cut the squash in half and carefully remove the seeds.
• You might want to use a kitchen scissors to cut around the edge because you don't want to dig into the squash itself (which is easy to do).
• Turn upside down in a baking pan.
• Bake at 375-degrees until the inside is somewhat soft (about 45 minutes for this sized squash).
• Let cool until the squash can be handled and then carefully remove the inside of the squash.
• They will come out in threads that look and act much like cooked spaghetti (thus, the name).
• There will be a much larger volume of strands than you think!
• Cook several pieces of bacon very crisp and chop into bacon bits.
• In a skillet, heat some olive oil and/or butter.
• Add the spaghetti squash threads.
• Toss with spices as desired and the bacon bits.
• Heat through and serve.
