Before starting, add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash and dry all produce. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats, line a plate with paper towels. Cut bacon crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. (TIP: Use kitchen shears to cut bacon with ease!) When the pan is hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5-7 min.** (TIP: Reduce heat to medium if bacon is browning too quickly!)Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to the paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Reserve bacon fat in the pan. (NOTE: You will use the pan with bacon fat in step 5.)
Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic. Strip sage leaves from stems.
Heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions, garlic, Cream Sauce Spice Blend and sage stems. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min. Add squash, cream, garlic salt and 1/4 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). Season with pepper. Bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium, then cook until squash is tender, 10-12 min. Remove from heat, then discard sage stems. Using a potato masher, carefully mash sauce until it reaches desired creaminess.
Meanwhile, add linguine to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain linguine and return to the same pot, off heat.
Meanwhile, reheat the pan with reserved bacon fat over medium-high. When hot, add sage leaves. Fry until crisp, 1 min. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fried sage leaves to the paper-towel lined plate with bacon. Set aside.
Add spinach, sauce, half the bacon and half the Parmesan to the pot with linguine. Season with pepper, then stir until spinach wilts, 1 min. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.) Divide linguine between bowls. Sprinkle fried sage leaves, remaining bacon and remaining Parmesan over top.
