  Ingredients
  2 medium spaghetti squash
  60 mL ( 1/4 cup) butter
  250 mL (1 cup) fresh bread crumbs
  60 mL ( 1/4 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
  30 mL (2 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley
  1 sweet red pepper, diced
  250 mL (1 cup) sliced mushrooms
  350 g (12 oz) skinless, boneless chicken br3asts, cut in bite-size pieces
  60 mL ( 1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
  500 mL (2 cups) milk
  250 mL (1 cup) fresh, frozen or drained canned peas
  1 mL ( 1/4 tsp) nutmeg
  Salt and pepper
  
  Directions
  Cut each squash in half lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Place cut side down on foil or parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet; bake in 200 C (400 F) oven for 40 minutes or until very tender.
  
  Meanwhile, in large saucepan, melt butter. In bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, half the parsley, and 15 mL (1 tbsp) of the melted butter. Set aside.
  
  Reheat remaining butter over medium-high heat until foaming. Add red pepper and mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Add chicken; cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Add flour, stir for 1 minute, lowering heat if necessary to prevent scorching.
  
  Gradually stir in milk; simmer, stirring until thickened, bubbling and smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in peas and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  
  Turn squash half side up. With fork, rake spaghetti-like strands to separate (do not remove). Spoon in hot chicken mixture; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake in 200 C (400 F) oven for 10 minutes until heated through.
