After I launched all of the steam and eliminated the squash, I crammed the cavity with salsa and sautéed mushrooms and baked it in a pre-heated oven on 375 for Quarter-hour. It was about Quarter-hour of fussing (slicing and scooping out the spaghetti squash and cleansing and sautéing the mushrooms) and 25 minutes of cooking whole.

I observed this concept on the menu at a neighborhood restaurant that serves 1/2 of a spaghetti squash baked with sauce and cheese or vegan cheese. I substituted mushrooms for the cheese.
