Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash (or any winter squash you like best)

Instructions

Ideal slow cooker size: 4- to 6-Quart. (Large enough to hold the squash.)
Place whole squash in a slow cooker. Add 1/2 cup water.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, or LOW for 4 to 6 hours, or until squash is soft.
Slice squash in half lengthwise; scoop out and discard the seeds.
Use a fork to scrape out spaghetti squash strands. Place in a strainer to drain excess moisture. For best flavor, horoughly blot dry, removing as much moisture as possible.

Notes

A 4-pound squash yields about 5 cups cooked squash, sometimes more. The number of servings this recipe makes will vary based on your individual squash's size and yield.

Serving size: 1 cup
