How to Make Spaghetti Squash
- Choose a spaghetti squash that is pale and yellowish in color. You'll also want to choose one that's free of nicks and bruises.
- Place your whole spaghetti squash inside a soup pot with a couple of inches of water.
- Cover the pot and bring it to a boil. It should take about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of your spaghetti squash. You know it's done when you can insert a knife into the center!
- Remove from the soup pot and let it cool slightly. Then, cut it in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and (using a fork) scrape out the tender flesh. You'll see for yourself why they call it "spaghetti" squash!
- If you prefer cooking your spaghetti squash in the microwave or oven, you can do that too! For both, you'll need to start off by cutting the spaghetti squash in half and removing the seeds first. Then, place the cut side down on a microwave-safe baking dish or cookie sheet and microwave for about 15 minutes, or bake for about 40 minutes. Of course, it all depends on the size of your squash!
