Notes
There are 2 ways to cut Spaghetti Squash before baking- 1. Cut the squash in half so that the ends are circular. This is the best way to cut the squash for longer “spaghetti” like strands. 2. Cut the squash lengthwise.
As a side dish, serve spaghetti squash with a little olive oil or vegan butter and a little salt and pepper
As a main dish, try serving the spaghetti squash with a marinara sauce or pesto. Vegan arugula pesto is really delicious on spaghetti squash.
Baked spaghetti squash is also good in soups, salads, and casseroles.
Spaghetti squash can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-5 days and then reheated in the microwave, on the stovetop, or in the oven.
