Yesterday I attempted to make spaghetti squash. My sister had been introduced to it at a friend's house and SWORE it tasted exactly like pasta.
Just so you know, it does not.
I recently began a new job, so I decided to cook the squash in the crockpot since I haven't had much time to cook. I filled the crockpot up about halfway and put the squash in on high for about 5 hours. I suspect 4 hours would be plenty. Make sure to get a big knife and put a bunch of holes in the squash before you cook it, you don't want the squash to explode or something.
When the squash was done cooking, I cut it in half (watch out, it will be very hot!) and removed the seeds. Next, get a knife and scrape down the sides of the squash, vertically. This is supposed to make it look like spaghetti (mine did not, but if you have any tricks, let me know!).
After scraping the squash into a bowl, I combined it with some warm marinara and cooked sausage.
If you like squash, this is probably great! And very healthy! If, like me, you aren't a fan of vegetables, this won't be terrible, but I would not recommend it.
Here is the original recipe I looked at, in case you are curious. Happy cooking!
