Notes

To make your squash easier to cut, you can place the whole spaghetti squash into a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or microwave it on high for 5 minutes. Allow the squash to cool slightly before cutting. Scoring the outside of the squash with a sharp knife from top to bottom on each side before placing it in the oven or microwave should also make it easier to cut and you’ll have a guide to follow when it comes time to cut.
