Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place squash in a 9x13-inch microwave-safe dish, cut-side down. Pour water into the dish so it is at least 1/2 inch deep.
Step 2
Microwave on High until skin is soft and can be pierced with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes. If the dish is too big to rotate, turn off the turntable and rotate the dish halfway through.
Step 3
Carefully cut stem end off spaghetti squash. Poke a few small slits in squash in a dotted line where you plan to slice squash.
Step 4
Carefully cut between the slits until squash is cut in half. Scoop out seeds and pulp.
