Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
4 ounces pancetta, diced (about 3/4 cup)
1 small shallot, diced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Halve and seed the spaghetti squash; roast, then scrape into strands (see Cook's Note).
Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon; set aside. Add the shallot and thyme to the skillet and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
Increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the peas and parmesan. Continue cooking until the sauce is thick and creamy, about 1 more minute. Remove from the heat.
Add the squash and pancetta to the sauce. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring, until combined, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the parsley.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 spaghetti squash
5 slices of bacon (diced)
2 cups fresh (or frozen) petite peas
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping

Steps:

1. Poke spaghetti squash with a fork throughout the skin, then place the squash in the slow cooker on high for three hours with a cup of water. 2.While squash is cooking, add bacon to a skillet, and fry up until soft. (Bacon will do more cooking in the slow cooker later.) 3. When spaghetti squash is finished, remove from slow cooker. Cut open with a knife and scoop out the spaghetti strands. 4. Place spaghetti strands back into slow cooker with bacon, peas, cream cheese and salt and pepper, and cook on high for another 45 minutes to an hour.
