Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash
Method
Preheat oven to 375°F and halve squash lengthwise.
Use a spoon to scoop out and discard seeds from the middle of each half.
Arrange squash in a 9x13-inch casserole dish, cut-side down.
Pour 1/2 cup water into the dish and bake until just tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
Rake a fork back and forth across the squash to remove its flesh in strands ... like spaghetti!
