Note for how to bake the spaghetti squash: Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle each half with olive oil or cooking oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the squash facing down drizzle each skin with oil, and bake on preheated to 400F oven for 25-30 minutes or until it's easy to shred with a fork. (Baking time is depending on the size of the squash)
