Wash squash and cut away green stem. Cook whole in boiling water just until tender. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp with a spoon, placing pulp in a large bowl. Cook spinach in salted water until tender; drain well and add to squash pulp. Add cream cheese to warm squash-spinach mixture.
Add all except last three ingredients and mix well. Salt squash sparingly and fill with mixture, mounding the top. Garnish each with crumbs, paprika and bacon. Place on a lightly greased sheet or in a shallow baking dish.
Cover with foil and bake at 325 for 30 minutes. May be prepared a day ahead. A complement catcher!
