Microwave Spaghetti Squash

Servings:

I microwave spaghetti squash for a much easier and quicker way to cook it than roasting it in the oven. Top the tender squash 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.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 2 Carefully cut between the slits until squash is cut in half. Scoop out seeds and pulp.
  3. 3 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.
  4. 4 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.
