Making spaghetti squash can be intimidating when you are not familiar. Here are few tips to help you and your family enjoy a tasty, fun food that is packed with lots of healthy ingredients:
- As the skin can be fairly hard, you can soften it and cut the squash easily by poking 10-15 holes all over the squash with a fork, then microwave for 2 minutes. Cut the squash open being very careful of the heat inside to avoid burns!
- Generally, you will know that the squash is done because the shell will be soft to the touch.
- The way the squash grows is concentric, so you’ll get longer strands that come out great every time by scraping side to side as opposed to scraping lengthwise.
