You will need:

·         1 spaghetti squash

·         skewer

·         Large sharp knife.

·         Baking pan.

·         Oven.

·         Kitchen fork.

• Prick the spaghetti squash all over with a skewer so it will not burst while baking.
• Place whole squash in a shallow baking pan.
• Bake in preheated 375 F oven for 1 hour.

• When cool enough to handle, cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise with a serrated knife.

• Scoop the seeds and fibrous strings from the center of the cooked spaghetti squash.

• Gently scrape the tines of a kitchen fork around the edge of the spaghetti squash to shred the pulp into strands.

• Cooked spaghetti squash is usually served with a sauce or gravy because the flesh is somewhat bland in flavor. Can be used like cooked spaghetti in spaghetti recipes.
• It may be served alone as a side dish with the addition of salt, pepper, and butter.
