Spaghetti squash gets an Italian makeover! First of all, this is a healthier take on normal parmigiana recipes. Secondly, it’s so fun when everyone gets a boat-like vegetable topped with bubbly cheese covering the sweet and garlicky party that is the spaghetti squash. Most importantly, this is an easy make-ahead and reheats fabulously!
You can make this spaghetti squash recipe vegan. Just use vegan parm and mozzarella cheese. I saw an awesome recipe on ABC’s The Chew were they make homemade vegan parm. I am so excited for you to watch the video and be inspired to cook this for your family.

- Making the Noodles of Spaghetti Squash More Flavorful: How many times have you made a spaghetti squash recipes and noticed no matter how much sauce you add, the strands of squash are bland? The number one complaint about spaghetti squash is that it doesn’t absorb flavor as well as regular spaghetti. I found a easy solution! This tip will win your flavor heart. First season the strands of spaghetti squash with salt, pepper, and garlic powder while they are still hot to add more flavor to the squash. Do this before mixing in any sauce or cheese in your recipe. This will give the strands more flavor and feel that the strands are just as yummy as the rest of the recipe.
