Spaghetti Squash Cooked 3 Ways

10 steps
Prep:10minCook:40min
Here are 3 methods that I commonly use for making spaghetti squash: oven (my preferred), crockpot, or instant pot. Spaghetti squash is such a versatile vegetable, since it can either be seasoned however you want, or mixed with any of your favorite pasta sauces.
