You’ll be amazed by spaghetti squash — it’s nutritious, versatile, and a breeze to prepare. For a satisfying meal, try adding pan-seared shrimp and scampi sauce to infuse flavor into the “noodles”. Trust me, it’s a winner! Our honey-infused spaghetti squash is a delightful twist on the classic, keeping it moist and adding richness with Buckwheat Eastern Shore Honey. It's absolutely delicious! This could easily be the best spaghetti sauce you've ever tried.
Easy, Peasy, Simple Pasta Dish
Choose firm, brightly-skinned squash that’s heavy for its size and without cuts or bruises. Cook pasta by boiling water and preparing it according to the package directions. They can be tough to cut, so get ready to put in some effort!
Don’t toss the seeds from spaghetti squash (I accidentally did this). Instead, wash and roast them for a crunchy treat. Just season with salt, pepper, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce. They’re perfect for homemade trail mixes and nut blends.

SIDE DISH
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash medium sized
- 1 tbsp. Bee Inspired Honey
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and carefully cut squash in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Clean and roast the seeds as you would pumpkin seeds.
- Drizzle each cut half with the oil, honey, salt and pepper. Lay cut side facing up on in a glass deep baking dish. Add about an inch of water in the dish to help with even cooking and to prevent the squash from drying out during cooking. Bake 35 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Use a fork to shred the flesh into noodle-like ribbons, and toss with your favorite sauce, vegetables, and protein.
