Ingredients

  • 1 med. spaghetti squash, at room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.

  2. Score squash lengthwise on each side along the lines you will halve the squash.  Do not score elsewhere.  

  3. Place squash in microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5-6 min.  (This softens the squash and makes it much easier to cut.)  Remove squash from microwave and halve along score lines.  (Be careful; it should be hot.)

  4. Scoop out seeds and stringy pulp.  Discard, or save seeds for another use.  

  5. Place squash cut side down on sheet pan.  (It's important to bake the squash cut side down, because the steam will help cook it.)  

  6. Bake at 375 F until squash is tender, approx. 50-55 min.  Remove from oven.  

  7. Using fork, gently scoop "noodles" into bowl.  Squash should give easily, and you should be able to scrape noodles out all the way to the skin.  If not, put back in oven.  

  8. Serve as desired.
