Here’s the easiest rule to remember: if your spaghetti squash looks, feels, or smells like it’s auditioning for a horror movie, let it go. It’s not a vampire—it won’t come back to life. Buy a fresh one, and get ready for the noodle magic that only a good squash can deliver.
You’ve got this. Now go forth, tap that squash like the gentle vegetable detective you are, and make sure your next roast is a triumph, not a tragedy.
