FAQs

1. How do I store leftovers?

• You should store any leftover spaghetti squash in a container that should be closed and place it in the refrigerator cooler and it can last up to three days. For the second time, fry in the skillet on a medium heat or warm in the microwave.

2. What if I used frozen spaghetti squash instead?

• Yes, you can use frozen spaghetti squash but fresh one is preferred if you want even your spaghetti squash soft. In case you’re going to use frozen, cook it as per the instructions which come with it and then, follow the recipe starting with the garlic butter stage.

3. What can I do to make the food even more tastier?

• You can always include more spices such as red pepper for that spice or you may wish to include some cooked vegetables such as spinach or mushrooms. Even grating over Parmesan cheese or a squizz of lemon helps to take it up a notch.

Tips for the Perfect Spaghetti Squash with Garlic Butter

• Choose a ripe squash: When choosing the spaghetti squash it is better to pick the one that is hard and colored in bright yellow. If you learn to harvest your squash at the right time, it should cook well and when scraped, it will resemble spaghetti.

• Roasting Time: As a word of caution, the duration that you take to roast your squash may depend on the dimensions of the vegetable. Check it after 40 minutes by inserting a fork into the tubers skin. When it enters smoothly, it is fine.

• Garlic Butter Perfection: Take care not to brown the garlic too much. Maintain the heat medium and keep stirring continually because burnt garlic becomes bitter.
