How to Cook Spaghetti Squash
Don’t be by spaghetti squash- it’s easy to prepare! Prep: Spaghetti squash can be very hard to cut in half (especially the larger ones). I often ask at the grocery and they’ll cut it for you. If not, poke it with a fork and microwave it whole for 3-5 minutes. This will make it easier to cut. Oven: Once cut in half, scrape out the seeds, brush with olive oil, and roast cut side down for 45-60 minutes. Microwave: If running short on time you can always skip the roasting and cook spaghetti squash in the microwave!
How to Make Spaghetti Squash Noodles
Once the spaghetti squash has been roasted, it’s easy to create those long, stringy noodles! Use a fork to lightly scrape the flesh out inside and watch the magic happen! Season with salt and pepper or a little olive oil and serve just as you would regular spaghetti… with fewer calories and carbs!
What to Serve with Parmesan Chicken
Spaghetti Squash Casserole (including this one) is a full meal in one pan. Add a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and parsley and, voila, dinner is served! To keep it low carb, serve with a crisp tossed salad or and Italian salad. If you’re not low carbin’ add in a crusty baguette to soak up the pasta sauce. A side of sautéed brussels sprouts with garlic would round out this healthy feast!
