Wanted Spaghetti squash

[aviax2]

I bought a spaghetti squash and could use some help on how best to prepare it. I have never had it or cooked it but definitely wanted to try it.

What‘s your favorite way to have spaghetti squash, please and thanks?

I usually slice it in half lengthwise, cut halves face down on a casserole dish, baking pan, or foil. Can also just steam them on the stovetop. Add some water to steam them, then in the oven at 350 or so for half an hour, or whatever makes them tender. Pull them out, use a fork to scrape and separate the flesh out. I usually then do a pan, add butter/salt/pepper/nutmeg and saute a bit, serve up. I've also done the strands in marinara, that works fine also.

Basically treat them like any other squash. Pretty simple to make. Good stuff.

We like to pretend it's spaghetti. Create the strings with a fork after cooking (either steamed or baked). Serve heated with tomato sauce and sausage links. Cold with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, basil, fresh tomatoes and parmesan.

anything, with sausage, is great

Easiest way ever is to stab it a few times, 6 or so, and microwave it about 20 minutes or until soft. Then cut in half and scoop out seeds. I make it with marinara or into pad thai.
