- Turn off the heat (you can leave it on the stove top) and sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Cover until the cheese has melted then serve immediately with sauce. Now you will have softer, buttery spaghetti squash that you can twirl on your fork (thanks to the cheese).
