Bacon Spaghetti Squash

Directions

1. 1
   Cut the squash in half and carefully remove the seeds.
2. 2
   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).
3. 3
   Turn upside down in a baking pan.
4. 4
   Bake at 375-degrees until the inside is somewhat soft (about 45 minutes for this sized squash).
5. 5
   Let cool until the squash can be handled and then carefully remove the inside of the squash.
6. 6
   They will come out in threads that look and act much like cooked spaghetti (thus, the name).
7. 7
   There will be a much larger volume of strands than you think!
8. 8
   Cook several pieces of bacon very crisp and chop into bacon bits.
9. 9
   In a skillet, heat some olive oil and/or butter.
10. 10
    Add the spaghetti squash threads.
11. 11
    Toss with spices as desired and the bacon bits.
12. 12
    Heat through and serve.
