How to Make Skillet Spaghetti Squash

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast spaghetti squash until tender (about 40-50 minutes depending on size), then let cool slightly.
  2. Once cool enough to handle, use a fork to remove all the stringy pulp from the roasted spaghetti squash and place it in a large bowl.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  6. Add the spaghetti squash pulp and seasoned salt to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and slightly browned.
  7. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
  9. Remove from heat and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
