SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH APPLES, BACON, AND WALNUTS



Spaghetti Squash with Apples, Bacon, and Walnuts image

I've always loved spaghetti squash as an alternative to pasta and enjoy it in the classic marinara style, but I wanted a new recipe so my family and I could enjoy it more often. The savory, salty and sour flavors combine perfectly with a hint of sweet spice. While the squash is baking, prep the rest: It will take only minutes to finish after you shred the squash. -Jeff Tori, Johnstown, Colorado
