Instructions
preheat the oven to 375
Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and place open side down on a baking pan
bake for 40 mins
chop the bacon and fry in a 12 inch seasoned skillet
scoop out the bacon and drain on a paper towel
pour the bacon grease out but keep 2 Tbsp in the pan
add the flour and stir, into a roux - it will darken to the color of a penny, if you like garlic I recommend adding it once it starts to darken.
add the milk and cream and keep stirring until it's thick
take off the heat and add the Parmesan, salt and pepper
when the squash is done flip over and take a fork and shred the inside of the squash
split the alfredo between the two halfs of the spaghetti squash
sprinkle the bacon on each half and sprinkles some extra Parmesan on top as well.
place back in the oven for 10-15 mins
stir the squash, sauce and bacon and serve warm
