With just a few steps, I’ll teach you how to make a simple Spaghetti Squash.
Ryan and I entertained a very small Easter meal this year, but it was perfect because I was able to try making a couple new things for a smaller group.
I have had a huge interest in making Spaghetti Squash for quite some time now.
I’ve been drawn to the idea that it looks like spaghetti, but is far from it from a carbohydrate/gluten perspective!
So I went to the local farmer’s market and purchased 2 jumbo squash for $2!

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut the squash into fourths.
- De-seed and get all the pulp out.
- Bake the squash for 35-40 minutes.
- Done.
The squash literally just falls out into spaghetti pieces with ease! I added a little olive oil and sea salt to mine.
You can flavor yours however you’d like!
And yes, all of this – gluten free, simple, healthy and fresh for $2.00!

I love spaghetti squash–probably because it does seem like you are eating pasta!
I completely agree, Michelle! I even twirl it like pasta…ha:)
I love spaghetti squash! (Sorry for the delay – just getting caught up on posts I had flagged while in the computer upgrade process!)
Even got my mother hooked on it while she was visiting over the holidays. My personal favorite is when I make my veggie “bolognese” sauce (use chopped mushrooms instead of meat). Tastes so decadent but it’s so good!
Thanks, Lena! And thank you for the great idea! I can’t get enough of it. It’s my perfect “carb!”
