HOW TO COOK SPAGHETTI SQUASH:
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Cut spaghetti squash in half and scoop out seeds, place cut side up on a cookie sheet.
Bake 30 minutes to 1 hour (depends on the size of the squash)
1) Preheat oven to 375 F. 2) Cut squash in half, scoop out seeds, and place cut side up in a pan or on a cookie sheet
3) Bake for 30 minutes to 1 hour (prick with fork and if it goes in smoothly the squash is done)
4) Start scraping the squash with a fork and it will come out in "spaghetti" strands
This is all of the "spaghetti" that the one small squash produced
Eat it like you would regular spaghetti, here I mixed it with some vegetables, pesto, and Parmesan cheese
