Recipe #123: Spaghetti Squash

Oven Baking:

Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds and pulp.

Place in a pan cut edge down with about 1" of water and bake for about 45 minutes at 300 degrees.

When tender, remove, turn over and add butter and brown sugar to taste.

Return to oven with the cut edge up for about ten minutes.

Remove and let cool a bit.

Add salt and/or pepper to taste.

Eat squash directly out of its shell.

Microwave:

Cut and clean out as above.

Place in about 1/2" of water and microwave on high for about ten minutes.

Add butter, sugar, salt and/or pepper to taste.

Addendum: I loosen the stringy inside from the shell all around the cut edge with my fork then eat to my heart’s content.
