Microwave Spaghetti Squash

Learn how to cook spaghetti squash in the microwave with this easy recipe. Microwaving squash is much easier and quicker than waiting for it to roast in the oven. Once done, it is ready to be topped with your favorite ingredients or kept simple with just a pat of butter and some salt. For longer strands, cut the squash crosswise instead of lengthwise.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Carefully cut stem end off spaghetti squash. Poke a few small slits in squash in a dotted line where you plan to slice squash. Carefully cut between the slits until squash is cut in half. Scoop out seeds and pulp.
Step 2
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 3
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.
