So I have had a spaghetti squash sitting on my counter for about…oh…well awhile. It’s pretty hardy, so it hasn’t gone bad. What have I been waiting for? Well, I’ve basically been pretty lazy to bake it for an hour. Last night, I finally decided to look up a good spaghetti squash recipe. Pinterest and Nom Nom Paleo saved the day! I found a way to just stick it in the microwave and VOILA! It is ready for me in 10 minutes 🙂
Right – One half untouched after microwaving
Middle – Partially scraped
Left – The final product!
This was seriously the easiest thing I could have done. All I had to do was cut it in half, brush some oil on it, add salt and pepper, and microwave it for 8-12 minutes! Scraping it out took a little extra time for me (it was my first time…yes, I’m a spaghetti squash virgin), but it was fun! It’s amazing how it all comes out in these beautiful yellow strands! I was able to put it all into a tupperware. I added some more salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes for seasoning. I had a little taste, and it was great! I especially loved the texture.
Ready to eat!
I’m SO excited to have this during the week!! Easy, healthy, and delicious 🙂

This looks so good! I bake every type of squash in the microwave and just add spices to flavor! It’s easy and healthy! The hardest part is cutting open the squash. I get my husband to do that, but if he’s not available I put the knife in it and take it out to hit it on concrete because I don’t have the strength. It might not be the safest way, but sometimes the only way!

Haha, yes, I found that challenging as well! I’m so happy that this works, it saves so much time 🙂
