Ingredients
Instructions
-
With a very sharp knife, lop off the top or bottom of the squash so that it will stand flat and secure on your cutting board. Slice the squash in half lengthwise.
-
Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
-
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Brush the inside of each half with about 1 teaspoon olive oil each and sprinkle with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Place cut sides down on a rimmed baking sheet and put sheet into the oven.
-
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the squash with a fork.
-
Let cool for about 15 minutes, or until squash is cool enough to handle. With a fork, scrape out the spaghetti-like strands and prepare as desired.
