Directions
If youve never had spaghetti squash before, its a winter squash that has spaghetti-like strands when you cook it and fluff it with a fork. Does it taste like spaghetti? Well no, its kind of neutral in flavor, so it takes on the flavor from whatever you season it with. I always have homemade marinara sauce on hand, either in the refrigerator or freezer, which makes quick weeknight meals a snap.,If you want to speed this up, you can microwave the spaghetti squash instead, I provided both instructions below.
