Spaghetti Squash

From Tiffany Howard

Traditional (easy) Spaghetti Squash

1 medium spaghetti squash (about 3 lbs.)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 TB butter (or olive oil)

¼ tsp. salt

1/8-1/4 tsp. black pepper

Half the squash lengthwise and remove and discard seeds.  Place squash; cut side down in a microwave safe baking dish.  Cook squash on high for about 7-10 minutes. (If you do not have a turntable, turn squash every 3 minutes)  Using a dinner fork, rake the squash in to spaghetti-like strands from the shell.

Toss squash with Parmesan cheese, butter, salt and pepper.

*optional- garnish with freshly chopped basil, oregano or parsley.
