2. Cut the squash in half length-wise and scoop out the seeds.

4. Once done, use a fork to scrape out the insides of the squash. 

Bacon
1. Heat frying pan over medium heat and fry bacon. 
2. Once done, set aside on paper towel. 

Sauce
1. In a frying pan, heat olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat. 
2. Once it browns, add the milk and continue to whisk. 
3. Add in parmesan cheese and continue to stir until it's well mixed. 
4. Pour over the squash and mix well. Crumble cooled bacon and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. 

Serve with seasoned chicken breast. A great cure for your comfort food cravings and it's only a little bit naughty. 

Bon appétit mes amis!
