How do I prepare Spaghetti Squash?
Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds. Place squash cut sides up in a microwave-safe dish with 1/4 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap and cook on high for 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender. Let stand covered, for 5 minutes. With fork, “comb” out the strands.
