We eat a fair bit of spaghetti squash, yet if you search for it here on the blog, there are not that many recipes. That’s because most of the time we’re eating it just like I’m telling you about today – roasted. Spaghetti squash is a great side dish to all kinds of main dishes as well as anything saucy. It’s also a great way to replace whatever your usual starch would be with another serving of veggies.
My top 3 favorite ways to serve spaghetti squash
How to cook spaghetti squash
My preferred method is to cut the spaghetti squash in half like in the above photo. Then I scrape out the seeds and place the halves cut side down on a lined baking sheet and roast until tender.
I also tried the method of cutting the spaghetti squash into rings like the above photo for longer noodles. And I have to say from my perspective – so not worth the hassle, but to each their own, I might be just a little too impatient!

If the spaghetti squash is too crunchy for your taste, continue to cook another 10 minutes or so to soften. Using a fork, shred the spaghetti squash into ‘noodles’ and serve hot. For the Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot insert, and place the metal trivet on the bottom. Place the spaghetti squash, (whole) onto the trivet. Secure the lid, set to sealing, and pressure cook for 25 minutes. Use the quick release method, then carefully remove the spaghetti squash from the Instant Pot. Let the squash cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting it in half, scraping out the seeds and shredding it into ‘noodles’ with a fork. Serve hot.
