Wondering about spaghetti squash?
It is a sorta football-shaped squash, fairly large and quite yellow
in color. Cut it in half lengthwise (it is pretty hard to cut-be
careful!) and scoop out the seeds in the middle.
To oven bake, place in a baking pan, cut side down, with 1' water.
Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes (until its somewhat soft). To
microwave bake, place in glass pan, cut side
down, with 1' water and nuke on med-high for at least 10 minutes
(until somewhat soft).
After cooking, use a fork to remove the pulp from the rind-it'll
come out in spaghetti-like strands.
The smallest one I've ever bought yielded 3 c. strands. Larger ones
may yield 3 c. per half of the squash!
