Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the squash halves into a large baking dish with the cut-sides facing down.
• Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a knife, about 40 minutes. Cool squash for 10 minutes.
• Shred the inside of the squash with a fork and transfer to a bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper to shredded squash and toss to coat. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush the cut side of each squash half with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place squash, cut-sides down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until the squash is tender when poked with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, panko, garlic, thyme and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Flip the squash and use a fork to scrape the squash into spaghetti strands. Stir in half the mozzarella, if using, then sprinkle the squash with the remaining mozzarella and the panko mixture. Roast until the top is golden brown and mozzarella has melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

• Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and ribbing. Drizzle the inside of the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside, fork tender, but still a litte bit firm. The time will vary depending on the size of your squash. I also find that the timing can vary from squash to squash.
• Remove from the oven and flip the squash so that it's cut side up. When cool to the touch, use a fork to scrape and fluff the strands from the sides of the squash.

• Place squash cut-side down in a microwave-safe dish and add water. Microwave, uncovered, on High until the flesh is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, place squash cut-side down on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F until tender, 40 to 50 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender and starting to brown, about 5 minutes more. Add tomatoes, Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, crushed red pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook until heated through and the flavors have blended, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cover.
• Use a fork to scrape the squash from the shells into a large bowl. Stir in Parmesan, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Place the shells cut-side up on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spoon one-fourth of the squash-Parmesan mixture into each shell. Layer one-fourth of the tomato mixture on top, then sprinkle 1/4 cup mozzarella into each shell. Dollop 1/4 cup ricotta over the mozzarella. Repeat with the remaining squash mixture, tomato sauce and mozzarella.
• Bake the squash lasagnas for 15 minutes. Turn the broiler to high and broil, watching carefully, until the cheese starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Cut each lasagna in half to serve.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH STIR-FRY

Steps:

• TOFU (optional): Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drain liquid from the tofu and wrap the block of tofu in a clean dish towel to dry it out a bit. Then cut into 1/2-inch cubes and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Add toasted sesame oil and coconut aminos and toss to coat. Spread into an even layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until golden brown with crispy edges. Set aside.
• SPAGHETTI SQUASH: If you don't already have leftover cooked spaghetti squash, prepare at this time in either the Instant Pot or oven. The Instant Pot is our preferred method when short on time and the oven is preferred for superior flavor. Shred with a fork and set aside.
• SAUCE: Prepare sauce by adding all ingredients (peanut butter, coconut aminos or tamari, maple syrup, lime juice, and chili garlic sauce (optional)) to a small mixing bowl and whisking to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more chili garlic sauce for heat, lime juice for acidity, maple syrup for sweetness, peanut butter to thicken, or coconut aminos for saltiness and depth of flavor. Set aside.
• STIR-FRY: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add sesame oil, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat to medium if browning too quickly. Add garlic, ginger, and green onion (optional) and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add tofu, 3 cups cooked spaghetti squash (adjust amount if altering number of servings), and sauce, and stir to coat evenly with sauce. Cook for 2 minutes or until warmed.
• GARNISH: Optionally, garnish with lime wedges, sliced green onion, cilantro, and chopped peanuts. Add sriracha or chili garlic sauce for a little more heat.
• Best when fresh. Leftovers will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed. Not freezer friendly.
