For a deeper flavor, try browning the butter before mixing it with the other ingredients. This adds a nutty richness that complements the garlic and ginger beautifully. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference. A pinch more can add a delightful kick! Leftover roasted spaghetti squash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. Consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice after roasting for a bright, citrusy finish.
