Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Spaghetti Squash Dish.
Step 1
Begin by taking a fork and gently pricking the skin of the spaghetti squash about 10 to 15 times.
Step 2
This simple step allows steam to escape during the cooking process, ensuring perfectly tender squash.
Step 3
Next, place the squash into your slow cooker and pour in enough water to create a steaming environment.
Step 4
Cover the cooker and set it to the Low setting, allowing the squash to cook for 4 to 6 hours until it becomes tender and easily pierced.
Step 5
Once the cooking time is up, carefully transfer the squash to a cutting board and let it cool for 15 to 30 minutes, giving it time to reach a safe handling temperature.
Step 6
When you're ready, slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds, discarding them.
Step 7
Finally, take a fork and gently shred the flesh of the squash into delightful strands that resemble spaghetti, ready to be enjoyed in your favorite dishes.
Step 8
This method not only simplifies the cooking process but also transforms the squash into a versatile, healthy alternative to traditional pasta.
