SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH APPLES, BACON, AND WALNUTS
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
