How to Cut a Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti squash is a winter squash with flesh that is often compared to or substituted for pasta once it has been cooked. Spaghetti squash can be cooked in a variety of ways, with the most common being baked or boiled. It can be cut either before or after the cooking process. Once it is cut, seeded and cooked, the flesh will strand from the squash using a fork.
