What is the best way to cook spaghetti squash? We baked ours at 425°F for about 30 minutes. Every oven is different. Just be sure to check your squash and make sure it’s not over baking. We like our strands not too mushy (more al dente).
How to serve easy cacio e pepe spaghetti squash recipe? We served this dish as a side dish. It is also just lovely as a main course. The squash is wonderful on its own. But I highly recommend making it with the chickpeas. Sub it with another canned bean if you don’t have any chickpeas in the pantry.
