In astrophysics, spaghettification (sometimes referred to as the noodle effect) [1] is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (rather like spaghetti) in a very strong, non-homogeneous gravitational field.
Unfortunately it's not clear to me if "spaghettification" is a real word. I've only found very marginal sources that use it. Hawking never uses the term, only "stretched out like spaghetti". Consequently I guess you will not be able to find references for hypothetical spaghettification by neutron stars.

Pared finger of ginger root. Figging is the practice of inserting a piece of skinned ginger root into the human anus in order to generate an acute burning sensation. . Historically this was a method of punishment, but it has since been adopted as a prac
Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries is a 2007 popular science book written by Neil deGrasse Tyson.It is an anthology of several of Tyson's most popular articles, all published in Natural History magazine between 1995 and 2005, [1] and was featured in an episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
In celestial mechanics, the Roche limit, also called Roche radius, is the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's self-gravitation. [1]
In general relativity, the Oppenheimer–Snyder model is a solution to the Einstein field equations based on the Schwarzschild metric describing the collapse of an object of extreme mass into a black hole. [1]
1972 — Jacob Bekenstein suggests that black holes have an entropy proportional to their surface area due to information loss effects; 1974 — Stephen Hawking applies quantum field theory to black hole spacetimes and shows that black holes will radiate particles with a black-body spectrum which can cause black hole evaporation
