This is a good basic way to serve this crunchy, mild favored squash. For variety, top with sesame seeds, mix with minced fresh basil, or combined with fresh chopped tomatoes. A 3 pound squash yields about 6 cups cooked squash. Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or more!) |
1 tablespoon fresh grated parmesan cheese, not that sawdust in a green can |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
fresh ground pepper |
Directions:
1. The squash can be baked, microwaved or boiled. I choose to microwave. Place squash cut side down in a pan just large enough to hold an 1/4 cup water and cover with plastic wrap.
2. Microwave on high for 14-15 minutes.
3. When skin pierces easily with fork, drain and cool. Scoop out and discard the seeds.
4. With a fork, transfer the spaghetti-like strands from the shell to a casserole dish.
5. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
6. Taste to adjust seasoning.
