ingredients

01.

Roast the Spaghetti Squash

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Chop the tip and the tail off of the spaghetti squash, and stand the squash up-right on a cutting board. Carefully cut the squash in half length-wise - gravity will help you chop from top to bottom.

02.

Use a spoon to scoop the seeds out of each of the halves. Rub about a tablespoon of olive oil over the flesh of each half. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.

03.

04.

Place both halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast the squash for 45 to 50 minutes or until the flesh is tender. Remove from oven and allow squash to cool about 10 minutes.

When the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to gently scrape the flesh, releasing spaghetti-like stands.
