Squash majorly comes in two categories, a winter squash and a summer squash. If you want to make a spaghetti squash then you have the pleasure to deal with a typical winter squash that is more mature, high in vitamin A, potassium and carbohydrates. It has no cholesterol and very little fat, so it is definitely a better alternative to have spaghetti squash than the Italian spaghetti 
It has no relation to pasta, but it is called spaghetti because you can make our strands of squash that look like the Italian, well, let’s say fast food.
Served spaghetti squash
Ingredients:
- 1 spaghetti squash
Equipment:
- 2 Casserole dishes
- Cutting board
- Chef’s knife
- Large spoon
- Fork
- Oven
Directions:
The first task is the most difficult task but you can do it without facing too much difficulty by exerting the right pressure on the squash. First put the spaghetti squash on a hard board because over exertion could cause scratches on your kitchen table. You will need a standard chef’s knife and use the end to pierce through the center of the squash straight all the way down. Hold the squash from one end and tilt the blade in the opposite direction until it lies flat on the cutting board. Follow the same technique to cut the other semi-circle and now you will have the squash in two equal sides.
The insides of the squash, apart from the outlining thick flesh, are not good for digestion. Use a large spoon to pick out the insides neatly and put them away. Preheat your oven to 350F and put one half of the squash on each casserole dish. Add a little bit of water that will be enough to submerge the outlines of the squash. The water helps to maintain moisture. Put them in the oven for about an hour so they will be ready for preparing spaghetti.
Notice that the squash is now soft and warm. Use a fork to dig the flesh and you will notice how strands will peel out along with the fork. These strands are the spaghetti that you will be preparing. Since the squash is wet, the strands will be sticky but they are now ready to eat.
Tips:
- Usually people like having it directly from the squash since it gives a fresh-out-of-the-oven impression, and you can use it to serve it to your guest.
- If you would like to add some taste, you can add some vegetable pasta sauce on it right after you have prepared the noodles. You can add parmesan cheese to give it a look of a perfect substitute for pasta.
- You can separate the noodles from the squash skin and put it in a bucket for convenience or taking it out for your next meal and you can reheat it to keep it soft and good to eat.
