- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
1 spaghetti squash 3-4 cloves of garlic (minced)2 tablespoons olive oil1/4 cup watersalt & pepper to taste
Cut squash in half, lengthwise. Scoop out seeds, being careful to preserve as much of the inside as possible. In a casserole dish (coated with non-stick cooking spray), place squash face-down, then add 1/4 cup of water.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes, then turn squash over and cook for another 30 minutes or until soft.
As squash is cooling, saute garlic and olive oil in a pan.
Using a serving fork, scrape squash out and into the pan with the garlic and olive oil. (Using long strokes, the fork should make the squash come out in long, thin, spaghetti-like strands.
Cook for another 3-5 minutes. (Until garlic is the color you like best!) Add salt and pepper.
This serves 2 people as a main course, 4 as a side dish. (Kids love to be the "squash scraper")

I have eaten spaghetti squash like this for more years than most of you have been alive. The only thing I can add is that instead of cutting this in half and baking, poke holes in it and microwave until soft. Saves you a LOT of time. I would never bake a squash with the microwave around. Delicious! - 6/19/12

I just recently tried spaghetti squash for the first time, and love it. I've cooked it by cutting in half and putting in a covered pan with water, and steaming in the microwave for 6 minutes. Much quicker - and just as yummy! I look forward to trying some of the suggested variations. - 5/3/11

This was my first go at spaghetti squash and all I can say is - wow! The texture is very close to pasta and it has a wonderful honey smell as it cooks. I followed the recipe exactly and served it with marinara sauce and steamed broccoli - perfect healthy comfort food. A new favourite. - 8/12/14
