Slow Cooker Spaghetti Squash

Cooked on low for 4 hours and followed previous recommendations on only using 1/2 cup of water and it came out perfect. Topped with butter, salt, pepper and Parmesan

So easy and tasted so good with my regular meat sauce for spaghetti!!! I’ve made it several times now and will continue. The kids aren’t fans (hey don’t love regular spaghetti much anyway) but the hubs and I are all for it!

I wasn’t a big fan of this. Yes, it was easy, but a slow cooker cooks with moist heat, and moist heat was not the best method for spaghetti squash, at least not for me. Moist heat resulted in too-moist squash. Not overdone at all mind you, but still almost on the soggy side - it simply retained too much moisture. And I even used a lot less water than called for, just enough to cover the bottom of the pot. Interesting to try, but I’ll stick to roasting my spaghetti squash in the oven.

This worked very well as an alternative to baking spaghetti squash. A nice idea for if you are going to be out of the house for a while and want to cook something with the squash when you come home, or if you simply don't feel like using your oven. I cooked mine for the full 6 hours and it turned out perfectly tender.

Worked really well.. squash was nice and tender
