If you were to ask me a couple years ago how to cook spaghetti squash, or what it even looked like, I would've had no idea. I've always been a big fan of squash, so it was about time that I ventured into the world of cooking with spaghetti squash. The first person I turned to was my brother-in-law because he seemed to be always cooking it, and he quickly taught me how to bring this squash to life. Now I absolutely LOVE cooking with it! It's super versatile, provides as a pasta replacement, and fuels your body with its nutritious ingredients!
Spaghetti squash definitely needs some time to cook, so make sure you plan out your meal accordingly. I try to make this on Sunday either for that night or for a meal I'm planning on that week.
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Carefully (and you may want to enlist the help from your husband like I do) cut your squash in half.
3. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and membranes from inside.
4. Season the cut halves with salt and pepper.
5. Place the squash cut side down in a baking dish and fill the dish with 1/4 c. of water.
6. Bake your spaghetti squash for 1 hour.
7. When done, let your squash sit for at least 15 minutes so it can cool down. Then, using a fork, scoop out the insides. The squash will be strands and look like spaghetti!
For dinner tonight I made Skinnytaste's Spaghetti Squash with Meat Ragu using ground turkey.
