Best Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash, like cauliflower rice, has a moisture problem. Unlike cauliflower rice, you can’t just pan fry the hell out of it to fix it. But the fix isn’t too taxing provided you have a sharp chef’s knife, some sea salt, and good upper body strength. Really if the knife is sharp enough, you don’t even need upper body strength.
