Baked Spaghetti Squash Recipe

In this post I’m sharing a simple Baked Spaghetti Squash Recipe.

Spaghetti squash is a mild flavor squash and when cooked the flesh resembles noodles. Spaghetti squash can be cooked many ways, I chose to bake it. It is so easy to bake.

I know you’re wondering and no it doesn’t taste like a spaghetti noodle. The texture is similar to a noodle, the squash flavor is very mild. I think you do need to season it as you prefer to add some flavor. Healthy and delicious. I can be served a variety of ways.
