How do you cook your spaghetti squash?
I don’t have much muscle, I used a hammer to get my knife through the skin, LOL.
I just watched another video that said this was the wrong way to cook spaghetti squash. They cut it horizontally. Should I compromise and cut it on a diagonal?
Dont cut lengthwise , you will only get short strands
The strands run around the width of the squash. If you cut in half the other way, you get much longer strands that more resemble spaghetti
