How to Cook Spaghetti Squash - The simplest and EASIEST way to cook spaghetti squash. And it's such a healthy substitute to pasta - low in calories and fat!

This is the easiest way to cook spaghetti squash, hands down.

 It literally takes 5 min of prep. That’s it.

Simply cut the squash in half, remove the seeds, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

I told you.

Five stinking minutes.

From there, depending on the size of the squash, you can let that roast for 45-60 minutes.

You’ll have the perfect strands for all your recipes.

But stay tuned. I have a garlic parmesan spaghetti squash recipe (loaded with tons of butter – DUH!) coming this week!
