Using a large sharp knife cut the spaghetti squash in half and scrape out the seed with a spoon. Lay squash cut side down on prepared an and roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until it shreds easily with a fork. Do be careful to not over bake or the squash will be mushy. Remove from oven and set on the side to cool until able to handle. Turn oven temperature down to 350 degrees,shred the squash with a fork and place in a large bowl. This can be done a day ahead of time.

Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to skillet along with the shallots. Saute until chicken has been thoroughly cooked. Add spinach and garlic saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until the spinach has melted. Spoon mixture into bowl with the spaghetti squash adding ranch dressing, eggs and half of the cooked bacon. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired and mix well to combine. Using an 8 x 8 baking dish, or similar size, pour in mixture and top with remaining bacon.
