Notes
- If you prefer your spaghetti squash more “al dente,” stop cooking at the 30 minute mark. Take care not to over-bake it otherwise it will become mushy.
- Cooked spaghetti squash can keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
- Not sure what to serve spaghetti squash with? Here are some ideas: Hidden Veggie Italian Meatballs, Chicken Pesto, Roasted Red Pepper Pesto, or Japanese Chicken Curry
