I have found that cutting it half horizontally allows you to have long circular strands that resemble noodles. Another bonus for cutting it this way: ROCK the squash back and forth and the knife will cut through so much easier! Also, if you’re in a hurry, the instant pot is amazing for spaghetti squash! High pressure for 7 minutes with a quick release.

I bake mine with the opening down, as pointed out, and then for the last few minutes I turn them with the opening up and put in a dash of butter and more salt and pepper and some cinnamon and sugar mixed together in a jar (which I keep on hand all the time). What a great sweet treat. If you don’t want the sweetness, leave out the sugar but you can still use the cinnamon, or swap it out for nutmeg. YUM!

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The squash was tender and easily shredded when it came out of the oven. I made a beef stew in the crockpot and used the squash as ‘boat’ that I filled with the stew and gravy. It was really good and a hit with the family!

I am a single senior and love squash, especially spaghetti squash. I bake it and portion it for a meal and freeze, then just thaw and heat. Butter in. Frying pan with carmelized onions, roasted garlic, all prepped and in my freezer. When sizzling I put my previously frozen spaghetti in to heat, then serve with (yes, previously frozen & portioned) Alfredo sauce over top, yum. Goes great with fresh polish sausage, baked chicken or bone in Pork chops.

Absolutely fabulous recipe. A spicy tomato sauce made it perfect! May never eat other noodles again after this so healthy recipe!

In reply to Becky Jones. The seeds are my favorite. Little olive oil, lawreys. Bake 375 till light brown. About 12 min. Don’t wash. All the little pieces of squash get crispy good.. break the seeds away from the big clumps of string flesh though.

My mom used to make this by cutting in half – putting butter, salt and pepper in one half, and butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in the other half. They were both delicious! We are trying it tonight. Thanx for the instructions.

In reply to Barbara. Hi Barbara, you'll find lots of vegetarian dishes worthy of a Christmas party. When I'm looking to save money on a menu for a party, I try to ensure I have some dishes that use similar ingredients to make sure I am using all the components.
