Spaghetti Squash

You can get spaghetti squash at Wal-Mart.  Sometimes, the other grocery stores will have it also.


Put the whole thing in the microwave for about 6 minutes.  If you don't, you may need an ax to cut it in half!


Place it open side down on a baking sheet.  Fill it with about 1/4" of water.  


Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.


Scrape the squash out.  It will come out in strands.  You can put spaghetti sauce over it or use it in your favorite pasta salad!
