Method

1. Set the whole spaghetti squash in your microwave oven and cook it on HIGH power for 3 minutes to make it easier to cut it in half. Use a chef's knife to cut the spaghetti squash in half, lengthwise, as soon as you remove it from your microwave.
2. Spoon out and discard the seeds from the center of each spaghetti squash half.
3. Set the cut squash halves on a microwave safe baking dish with the cut side down and add 1/4 cup of water to the dish.
4. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH power for about 6 minutes per pound.
5. Scrape the cooked spaghetti squash with a fork to loosen and remove the meat from the shell and transfer to a serving dish.
