For a richer flavor, try roasting the squash with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Leftover spaghetti squash can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the spaghetti squash halves cut-side down in a large baking dish. Add a splash of water to the dish to create steam, which helps the squash cook evenly. (2 minutes)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven until the flesh is easily pierced with a knife; this usually takes about 40 minutes. (40 minutes)
04
StepAllow the squash to cool for about 10 minutes, making it easier to handle. (10 minutes)
05
StepUsing a fork, shred the inside of the squash, creating spaghetti-like strands. Transfer the strands to a bowl. (5 minutes)
06
StepDrizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat. (3 minutes)
07
StepServe immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. (2 minutes)
