Hey guys,

Just trying my hand at making a cooking show. I've enjoyed Spaghetti Squash since I was allowed back on regular foods, post-op. It's an unusual food that can be intimidating at first glance. But it's easy to cook, has loads of health benefits, and tastes great - alone or as a side dish.

I love Spaghetti Squash! I just poke a bazillion holes in it with a skewer, put it on a paper plate and microwave it until it's soft. Easy cheesy!

Cut it in half, scoop out the seeds and then the flesh and serve it with olive oil and Parmesan. Love it.

How long in the microwave?

I was using a 5lb Squash split in half. The thicker half I put in for 15 min and it came out just right. The thinner half, for 12 min and it came out just right.

When I first tried Spaghetti Squash and I didn't know the cooking time, I started with 10 minutes, poked it with a ice pick, checked for a crunchy sensation, if crunchy - it's not done, if the ice pick slid into it like warm butter, I knew it was ready.
