Notes

  • Remember to use oven mitts or tongs when you remove the spaghetti squash from the slow cooker. It will be very hot.
  • If the squash is not soft to the touch when it’s done, then it needs to cook a little longer. Spaghetti squash does overcook! If you overcook your spaghetti squash it will turn mushy on you.
