½ large spaghetti squash (yields about 4-5 c. cooked threads)
4 slices bacon, chopped fine
3 oz. chopped onion
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
Dash salt
¼ tsp. pepper
Invert half a large spaghetti squash in glass dish. Surround with with ½” water and microwave 13-15 minutes. Drain off water, invert, remove and discard seeds (or feed to the birds in your yard :) ) and fork out the threads into the same dish. Set aside for now. In non-stick skillet, brown bacon bits and onion until bacon is done and onion is tender. Sprinkle salt, pepper and Parmesan on top of squash. Then spread onion/bacon mixture evenly on top. Microwave 5 minutes on high, or bake in oven at 350º for 20 minutes.
