All you need is a slow cooker.
If you're looking to add more veggies to your diet, spaghetti squash can be a great substitute for pasta.While
turning this hard squash into spaghetti-like strands seems
intimidating, it's actually way easier to cook than you might think,
thanks to this cooking trick from Hungry Girl.
Instead of struggling with cutting a tough, uncooked squash in half to
get it ready for roasting, just place the entire vegetable in a slow cooker, and in only five steps you'll have the perfect dish for busy nights:
1. Place your spaghetti squash in the slow cooker and add a 1/2 cup water.
