MICROWAVE SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Microwave Spaghetti Squash image

Microwaving spaghetti squash is much easier and quicker than waiting for it to roast in the oven. Once done, it is ready to be topped with your favorite ingredients, or kept simple with just a pat of butter and some salt. For longer strands, cut the squash crosswise instead of lengthwise.

Provided by France C

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash
1 cup water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Carefully cut stem end off the spaghetti squash. Poke a few small slits in the squash in a dotted line where you plan to slice the squash. Carefully cut between the slits until the squash is cut in half. Scoop out seeds and pulp.
  • Place squash in a 9x13-inch microwave-safe dish, cut-side down. Pour water into the dish so it is at least 1/2 inch deep.
  • Microwave on high power until skin is soft and can be pierced with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes. If dish is too big to rotate, turn off the turntable and rotate dish halfway through.

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Wash the squash.
  • Poke holes in the top and sides with a tined fork. About 6 times.
  • Set microwave on 70% power. Cook 15 minutes.
  • Moisture and steam will seep from the vent holes.
  • The skin should start to be soft and pliable.
  • Note of Caution: I was just notified that a squash exploded when it was cooked on high power. Since this recipe was written and I have no way of knowing the wattage of each microwave, DO NOT COOK ON HIGH POWER. continue to cook at 5 minute intervals at 70% power. The skin should be very soft and pliable.
  • The whole squash should be soft and pliable.
  • If not, cook a few minutes more.
  • Take out of microwave, let set for a few minutes. THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT.
  • On cutting board, cut in half. Clean out the seeds.Clean out all of the flesh. Add the salt and butter. All of the flesh is considered to be spaghetti strands in Spaghetti squash.
  • Ready for both types of squash to be baked, mashed or served. Ready to add more butter, sauces, sour cream, pasta sauces or garlic and onion, or brown sugar for hubbard squash. The kids love to scrape the squash and pop a few strands in their mouths in the process.
