Spaghetti Squash
Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 Medium Spaghetti Squash
- 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4-1/2 Cup Butter or Olive Oil
- 1/4 Cup of Water
- Salt and Pepper to taste.
Directions:
- Cut squash in half and scoop out the seeds and fibers with a spoon.
- Pierce a few holes in the squash skin with a large knife, skewer or an ice pick to allow steam to escape.
- Place squash halves, cut side up in a large microwave safe dish with 1/4 cup water.
- Cover with plastic wrap and pierce the wrap in a few places to allow steam to escape.
- Microwave on High power for 10 - 20 minutes or until the skin gives easily under pressure (using an oven mitt.) Let stand for a minute or two.
- Using a fork, scrape the pasta-like insides out onto a service plate or bowl.
- Toss squash strands gently with butter, cheese, salt, and pepper.
