.Net Core WebAPI connection reset, when I have "include" in my controller

Question

I have a new project with .Net Core. It's a WebAPI project. And I have a separate project for my model.

In WebAPI project, in a controller, I have something like this:

    // GET: api/questions
    [HttpGet]
    public IEnumerable<Question> GetQuestions()
    {
        return _context.Questions
            .Include( i => i.QuestionType );
    }

When I call http://localhost:55555/api/questios/ it just returns the first record, and then this error message: Recv failure: Connection was reset

If I remove the Include part and just return the _context.Questions, it work just fine!

What's wrong in my code?

I added json options according to Loading related data

If you are using ASP.NET Core, you can configure Json.NET to ignore cycles that it finds in the object graph. This is done in the ConfigureServices(...) method in Startup.cs.

            services.AddMvc()
              .AddJsonOptions(
                    options => options.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling
                        = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore );
