Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash with Spinach and Bacon
Ingredients
1 large spaghetti squash, halved and seeds removed
4 slices bacon, chopped
3 cups fresh spinach
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp pine nuts (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
Roast the spaghetti squash: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Drizzle olive oil on the squash halves, season with salt and pepper, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 30–40 minutes, until tender. Use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands and set aside.
Cook the bacon: In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon pieces and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
Sauté spinach and garlic: Add garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Combine: Add the spaghetti squash strands to the skillet and toss with spinach, bacon, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Sprinkle with pine nuts and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve hot!
