Ingredients:
olive oil
1 spaghetti squash, medium size
4 garlic cloves , minced
8 oz spinach fresh
8 strips bacon, cooked and finely chopped
1 c Parmesan cheese, shredded

1. Cook bacon according to package.

2. Cut squash in 2 halves, scrape seeds & fiber out of each. 
Spray cut sides of the squash and baking sheet with olive oil and 
place squash on baking sheet cut side down.
Bake about 30-40 minutes at 425.

3. While squash bakes, cook spinach.

Add minced garlic and fresh spinach and saute about 2 minutes, stirring until spinach wilts.

4. Remove squash from oven when cooked through and soft. Let it cool. 
Flip squash so cut side faces up – that will speed cooling.

Add freshly shredded Parmesan cheese to skillet and stir on low heat to melt the cheese.
