How to Cook a Spaghetti Squash

Have you ever heard of a spaghetti squash? I've heard of it before, but never really knew what it was...much less why it was called spaghetti squash. If you know me, then you know I try to limit my carbs as much as possible. Finding this gem of a squash has been amazing.

What is Spaghetti Squash?

I wasn't really sure what this type of squash was until recently. The reason that it is called spaghetti squash is because the pulp shreds and looks like angel hair pasta. It is a great alternative for noodles in a red sauce meal. 

How to Cook Squash


This squash has a thick skin. It has to be cooked in the oven. Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Remove as much of the strings as possible that are attached to the seeds. 

Lay both halves of the squash, pulp side down into a glass baking dish or broiler pan. Fill the pan with 2 inches of water. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. 

All squash to cool a bit. Use a fork and scrape out the center. It will last for up to a week in the refrigerator after being cooked.
