Spaghetti Squash with Bacon, Spinach and Goat Cheese

1 medium spaghetti squash, halved and seeds removed

6 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

1 Tbsp. maple syrup

1 to 2 Tbs. Halladay's Scampi Bistro Pasta Seasoning

1 (5 oz.) bag baby spinach

2 oz. soft goat cheese, crumbled

Place squash, cut sides down, on a rimmed glass dish and fill with an inch of water. Microwave until soft, about 12 minutes; set aside. Heat large skillet over medium heat; add bacon and cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cook until crisp and fat has rendered out, 5 minutes. Turn heat to medium and add vinegar while scraping the bottom of the skillet. After 20 seconds, turn heat back to low and add syrup; stir to combine. Add spinach, one handful at a time, stirring so spinach wilts and there's room in the skillet for more; turn off burner. Add squash and cheese; toss to combine.

Stuffed Butternut Squash With Scampi Wild Rice

2 medium butternut squash

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped

1 cup wild rice

½ cup frozen green peas

2 Tbsp Halladay’s Harvest Barn Scampi Seasoning

1 cup grated Parmesan Cheese, optional

Roast Squash:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut the Butternut Squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds with a spoon.

Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes, or until soft.

Rice Filling:

Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch Oven, add mushrooms and onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until onions are soft. Add rice and stir well to combine. Add peas, Scampi seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

Assemble the Squash:

Once the squash is fork tender, scoop out some of the flesh leaving ½ inch thick around the shell.

Add the squash pulp to the rice mixture. Spoon the rice and squash mixture evenly into the shells.

If using parmesan cheese sprinkle ¼ cup over each squash half. Broil on high for about 3 minutes for cheese to melt and brown nicely.

Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

2 Tbsp Halladay’s Spinach Artichoke Seasoning

1 (15 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

½ cup mayo

½ cup sour cream

½ cup mozzarella (plus ½ cup set aside)

½ cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken, optional

Basic Spaghetti Squash Cooking Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place the whole spaghetti squash in the microwave for 5 minutes. This softens the squash slightly, cuts down on the cooking time and makes it easier to cut.
Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast for about an hour or until the flesh scoops out easily.

Combine all ingredients together. Scoop out spaghetti squash flesh and add to spinach mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste and put back in the shells. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese on top. Put back in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted.
