How to cook spaghetti squash

I love spagetti squash. However, it’s super rare to find some in Sweden where I reside. When I do it’s a real treat and often imported from Germany.

Spaghetti squash is very easy to cook. I usually cook them like this:

1. Slice the spaghetti squash in 2, oil the inside
2. Place them face down on a baking tray covered with baking paper
3. Place the tray in a preheated oven, 175C, in the middle of the oven
4. Bake for 25-40 minutes depending on the size of the squash. You know it’s done once the insides are tender.
5.  Scoop out the insides, add additional oil, salt, pepper and fresh lemon juice to taste.

If you are wondering about the dish in the picture above, I’ve made a quick salad with salad in the bottom, artichokes and then added spaghetti squash on top, which I’ve dressed with freshly ground pepper, sea salt, truffle oil and freshly chopped parsley.
