Notes

*Spaghetti Squash can be cooked in multiple ways: in the air fryer, in the Instant Pot, or oven. See my tutorial on it: How to Cook Spaghetti Squash.

*The squash is done when it has quite a bit of give when you press on it. Carefully remove it and, let it cool before scooping the strands.

*For more bite-sized strands, use a knife or kitchen scissors to chop up the cooked spaghetti squash strands.

*Use any brand of Alfredo sauce, or make your own!
