Making Spaghetti Squash is super easy and is a great lower calorie, gluten free option to regular pasta.

It’s so versatile, you can eat it as is or mix it in with your favorite sauces!

I actually did a tutorial on How to make Acorn Squash a while back which got me thinking… hmmm I need to make a tutorial for you guys on how to make Spaghetti Squash!

If you’re new to the blog, I actually have a whole ‘How To’ section that has different helpful hints and tips on how to make a variety of foods. I’d love for you to check it out!

Also, if there’s anything you’ve been wanting to learn about cooking, such as tips, how tos, etc. Drop me a line and let me know what you want to see! You could either reply to this email if you’re on the email list, or simply leave a comment below! 🙂

Ok let’s get started!

Take one Spaghetti Squash and cut in half length wise.

Scoop out the seeds (it kind of reminds me of carving a pumpkin!) 🙂

Brush the insides with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Sprinkle with Sea Salt and Pepper.

Place Squash inside down on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes until the inside of the Squash pierces easily with a fork.

Flip the cooked Squash over.

Now the fun part, take a fork and start scraping the insides of the Squash.

I think it’s so cool to watch Spaghetti shaped ‘noodles’ being created from this. Hey it’s the little things right? 😀

Now, you can serve this as is but it might be a little bland.

I suggest seasoning it up a bit, like with this Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash I made the other day. Or mix it up and make these Italian Spaghetti Squash Boats.
