HOW TO COOK SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Spaghetti squash use to sound slightly intimidating, until I made it for the first time and now I'm hooked.  I cook a squash weekly and have the "noodles" readily available for any carb fix I might need.  There are a few methods you can use to cook the squash; boil, microwave or bake, this recipe is how to bake it in the oven. On average I buy a 3-4lb squash.

Once you have your squash cooked you can make a basic spaghetti meal or try Paleo Duck Chow-Mein. 

1. Pierce the whole center of the exterior skin all the way through until you get to the center of the squash several times with a large fork or skewer.
2. Place in a baking dish with water coming 1/4 way up the squash
3. Cook squash in preheated 375°F oven approximately 1  hour or until flesh is tender. 
4. Allow the squash to cool for at least 30 minutes before carefully slicing open, there will be steam. 
5. Scoop out the seeds from the center first, then separate "noodles" from the skin.
