  • Sharing the best way to cut and cook spaghetti squash if you want long pasta-like strands and spaghetti squash that isn’t watery! Just cut the squash widthwise, into rings and roast it.
    HOW TO COOK SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE:
    1 large spaghetti squash
    1-2 teaspoons olive oil
    sea salt and pepper
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice ends off the squash, then cut widthwise into halves or rings. If you cut the squash into rings, try to make the rings about the same size, around 1-1/2 inches.
    Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. (I love using a grapefruit spoon for this.)
    2. Place squash on rimmed baking sheet. Use hands to coat each ring with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
    3. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping rings once about 15 minutes in.
    4. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then peel the skin away and separate the strands into long spaghetti noodles using a fork.

    Just tried it. I'm diabetic and can't have regular pasta. It was so simple and worked so well i can't believe it was that easy. i HATE things that try to be LIKE something you really miss but leave you missing the real thing more - This was not that at all. It's not identical to pasta but it's every bit as satisfying in it's own right and simple as hell. Thank you so much - with my home made diabetic sauce this was a grand slam and now for the first time in years "pasta" and "spaghetti" is back on the menu.
