Not cooking spaghetti squash long enough

Many types of winter squash, including spaghetti squash, are acceptable to consume uncooked, according to The Whole Portion. Spaghetti squash is nutrient-rich and has a nutty taste when eaten uncooked. Spaghetti squash has a gritty texture that would be difficult to chew if presented in large chunks, so if you decide to eat it raw, be sure to chop it into very little pieces. However, eating it raw isn't always better for you, and cooking it improves the texture noticeably. Furthermore, cutting it into very little pieces while it's raw is considerably more challenging.

Serving spaghetti squash uncooked is one thing, but serving it undercooked is quite another. The meat won't release like noodles if it isn't cooked for a long enough time, making the food crunchy and unpleasant. Puncture the spaghetti squash with a fork to see whether it is cooked through. Test the meat to see if it is soft and not extremely crunchy if it peels off like spaghetti noodles. It can be cooked for a further five to ten minutes in increments until the appropriate consistency is reached.
