Garnish with lightly sweetened whipped cream just before serving. (2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter.
Ensure the spaghetti squash is well-drained after cooking to prevent a soggy pie.
A sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top of the whipped cream adds a nice textural contrast (though it will give away the 'mock coconut' secret!).
If you don't have a pre-baked pie shell, you can blind-bake one yourself. Just remember to prick the bottom with a fork before baking.
Consider adding a tablespoon of rum or bourbon to the filling for an extra layer of flavor.
