If your spaghetti squash is quite hard, microwave it for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly.
Look for small size spaghetti squash to serve this meal directly as the bowl
If you want to prep it to enjoy all week, roast the spaghetti squash in advance, and mix up the buffalo chicken mixture. When you’re ready to eat the meal, put it together (a serving at a time) and enjoy it heated
