Parmesan cheese for topping if desired

Preheat oven to 400F. Stab a knife into the spaghetti squash randomly about half a dozen times to allow steam to release. Place on a baking sheet and cooking for 30-40 minutes, or until a knife can pierce through the skin easily. Slice in half and allow to cool. Remove seeds.

What I love most about this stuffed spaghetti squash recipe is how versatile it is. I can easily make myself a vegetarian/vegan recipe, and people who do not like onions or mushrooms can switch up the ingredients or omit them altogether! And it is healthy! I mean, I am a big pasta lover so this is not essential for me, but I know others want lighter meals during the summer. And then come the winter holidays, people are wanting to watch their food intake again so this recipe is a win-win for any season!
