I mentioned last week, I’m slightly addicted now to Spaghetti Squash. Maybe I’m just a little weird, but I really love scraping the inside of the squash and seeing it all turn into what looks like spaghetti! Something about it is just really fun to me. Didn’t I warn you that I may be a little weird?
Another thing I love about this is the amount of veggies I can add to this meal, pretty much any veggies you would like to eat can easily be added along with spaghetti squash to make the perfect dinner!
My husband has all sorts of requests for upcoming spaghetti squash recipes so this is your warning that I may have a ton coming your way! This one was a pantry meal of sorts or more like a what I had on hand. I simply added the veggies I had along with some grilled chicken and whipped together this delicious dish!
I also like to keep my spaghetti squash a little crunchier so I avoid steaming it too long; however, it is completely up to your preference.

Maybe a dumb question… can i cut the squash in half to put in my steamer? Or does it mess it up? It’s one of those stacking ones and none of my “basket” things is big enough to hold the entire squash. thanks!
The first time I did spaghetti squash I left it whole. Then, when I made this one I cut it in 1/2 to see if there would be any difference. I didn’t tell any difference at all. My steamer is small too so it also works better for me if it’s cut in half. You can do it either way and it should come out the same.
