BLT Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Prick squash with a sharp knife in about 8-10 different spots.  Microwave for about 20 minutes, or until it is soft to the touch.  Let cool.  Saute the bacon and leeks in a bit of cooking spray, until the bacon is completely cooked.  Remove the seeds from the squash and throw away.  Remove the squash from the skin and place in a large bowl.  Add the bacon and leeks, the tomatoes, and cheeses.  Season with herbs and salt and pepper.  Spray a casserole dish with a bit of cooking spray and pour mixture into it.  Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until bubbling.  Let set 5 minutes.
