  • Once the squash has finished roasting, remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before turning over and pulling at it with a fork. (Careful, there will be some steam!)
  • Shred the inside of each squash, being careful not to poke through the skin. Pour the sauce over the shredded squash, top with fresh basil, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right spaghetti squash. Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep yellow color. Avoid any squash that has soft spots or bruises.
  • Roast the spaghetti squash properly. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the squash for 45-60 minutes, or until it is tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a fork to scrape the squash into spaghetti-like strands. This is the easiest way to get the desired texture.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not dry. Overcooked chicken will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include broccoli, zucchini, and carrots.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will really bring the dish together. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you are making your own sauce, be sure to use fresh ingredients and spices.
