Spinach-Bacon-Feta Spaghetti Squash with Balsamic Reduction
1 spaghetti squash
olive oil
6 strips bacon
1 T balsamic vinegar
1 T maple syrup
4 cups spinach
1/2 cup feta cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a baking sheet. Slice the ends off of your spaghetti squash and cut into rings. Scoop out the seeds in the middle and place on the bake sheet. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top and season with salt and pepper if desired. Bake for 15 minutes, flip and return for another 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let cool for about 10 minutes.
Cook your bacon in a large skillet- you will be adding all the other ingredients to this pan eventually. Once cooked, set aside on a paper towel, and add the balsamic vinegar to the pan. Let it sizzle while you scrape all the bits of bacon, then turn the heat down to low, add the maple syrup and mix.
Begin adding the spinach until it is all wilted. Rip your bacon into small pieces and add to the pan, along with the feta. Turn the burner off and begin pulling apart your squash. Use your fingers or a fork to pull the strands of spaghetti squash apart, and add them to the pan as you go. Stir it all together and serve with a bit of feta sprinkled on top.
