Ingredients:
- spaghetti squash
- olive oil

- pasta sauce
- meat or vegetable topping
- cheese
- 2 garlic cloves (optional)
Preheat oven to 400
1- Poke 4-5 holes in spaghetti squash
2- microwave on high for 10 minutes (knife should easily cut once taken out - if it is still hard return to microwave for a few minutes)
3- cut squash in half and clean out guts
4- drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. OPTIONAL: add 1 garlic clove per half (or more if you're into that kind of thing)
5- wrap in tin foil
6- Place cut side down on baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes (squash should easily pull apart with fork, if not return to oven 15 minutes)
7- separate squash with fork
8- add sauce, toppings and cheese (use the shell as the baking dish or a casserole dish)
9- return to oven to melt cheese
Enjoy!
Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the squash. Alternatively you can cook it face down with out tinfoil on a baking sheet with a little water to help steam it.
