• 1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash

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.
