I cooked my 3.5 lb squash uncut in the microwave for about 12 minutes. That made it soft enough to cut in half. And when I did, it didn't seem cooked enough, so I put each half back into the microwave for about 3 minutes. The toughest part of this methd is getting the seeds separated from the squash after its cooked. But it is worth it. And the I made cinncinnati chili. I served the family over pasta, but had mine over squash. Excellent! I did it! I cooked my 3.5 lb squash uncut in the microwave for about 12 minutes. That made it soft enough to cut in half.

I tried that and almost cut my hand open! The skin on that thing is SO tough. I am going to give this method a try. Every other recipre says to cut the squash in half before you microwave it.

I do it sometimes too. I've actually been easing on my cooking times and pulling out a little undone to keep a crisper texture. Try 4 minutes a pound next time. Let me know!

Question re: cooking the squash...I followed your method of piercing and then microwaving for about the same amount of time since I had a similar size squash -- the squash "deflated" and as I cut it I found it was filled with liquid which went all over the counter. It is kind of mushy rather than stringy like yours appears. Have you ever experienced this? What did I do wrong? Hi Roni,

I'm not sure what you mean, there really only is stringy stuff inside. The rest is just the skin. If you give one a try you'll see what I mean. Hope that helps! Hi Amanda!

I just followed your directions and it worked beautifully. I was a little messy with it, but nothing that a little time and practice won't nip in the bud! Thank you for taking the time to make this video! Tonight I am making your Easy Spaghetti Squash recipe. I will post there tomorrow! Thanks again, and I hope you are up and well again very soon.

I love your idea of scooping out the seeds after it has cooked. It is way easier that doing it prior to cooking. Last night I used the spaghetti squash in place of regular or whole wheat noodles. I grew up on spaghetti squash as a kid and still love it to this day. Thanks for the great visual tip! Jenn Hi Roni. i just watched the spaghetti squash video (a day after I made it at home).
