Learning how to cook spaghetti squash is not a hard task. It’s super quick and worth the trouble.
Spaghetti squash may not taste like spaghetti, but it’s a much healthier vehicle for enjoying your favorite marinara or spaghetti sauce recipe.
So here we go…How to Cook Spaghetti Squash
Preheat oven to 400° F. Cut spaghetti squash either long ways or into 1-inch rings. The rings will make longer strands of “spaghetti.”
Scoop out the seeds and strings that are attached to the seeds.
Place squash, cut side down, onto a greased cookie sheet (I use coconut oil for this). For the rings, spread them evenly on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake spaghetti squash at 400° F for about 40 minutes for the halves and 35 minutes for the rings (depending on the size).
Allow to cool enough to touch and scoop the “spaghetti” from the shell with a fork or pull the shell from the rings. Enjoy with your favorite pasta sauce or in your favorite recipe.
Tip: We grow spaghetti squash every year in our garden. When they are properly harvested and dried, they can stay fresh inside well into the winter. We have even enjoyed them in January and February.
