Preparation

❤️Roast your spaghetti squash:

  • Preheat the oven to 450

  • Cut your squash in half, clean the squash by removing the seeds and stringy part of the squash.

  • Polk holes in the skin with a knife

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the squash skin side down, salt & pepper your squash. I don't like to add water, broth or oils

  • Roast for 10 minutes, then turn your squash over to cook skin side up

  • bake in the oven at 30 minutes, just until fork tender when you can pull away from the sides.

  • Let it cool

  1. Preheat your oven to 350

  2. Prepare a pie pan or small casserole dish with parchment paper
