Ingredients

How to make it

  • Pierce squash in several places with a long-tined fork or metal skewer. Place on bakign pan and bake 1 12/ to 2 hours. Using potholders, squeeze squash to test for doneness. It is ready when it gives slightly under pressure. Remove and cool.
  • Heat saucepan over heat, pour in olive oil. Add garlic and cook until tender but not browned for about 5 minutes.
  • When squash is cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds and stringy portions. Using a fork, pull pulp from the shell in long strands and add them to the warm garlic oil.
  • Toss squash strands gently with pepper, salt and cheese. Pour into a serving bowl and garnish with basil or parsley. Serve immediately. Pass additional cheese at the table.
  • ***Strains of cooked spaghetti squash can be tossed with your favorite marinara sauce, mushroom sauce or pesto. The empty shell halves are nice to use as a serving bowl.
