Nutrition and Fitness: MAKING SPAGHETTI SQUASH

This is the first time I made this and it was so much easier than I expected. Even if you're the worlds worst cook, you can't possibly mess this up.

THE ESTIMATED TOTAL TIME TO MAKE THIS RECIPE IS 15-20 MINUTES.

1
I started out by microwaving the squash for about 10 minutes. Make sure you don't forget to pierce the squash so you don't have a microwave explosion.

2
When you take the spaghetti squash out of the microwave it is rather hot and steamy so watch your hands, I almost burnt myself. Split the spaghetti squash length wise into two even halves.

3
Remove the seeds just like you would with a pumpkin being careful not to scrape the squash out with it.

4
Using a fork, loosen the ’spaghetti’ strands from the inside of the squash, scraping them into a bowl or plate.

5
Now this is the "hard" part. Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray or spread a little of oil around the bottom of the pan. You can put any seasonings on your "spaghetti" you want but mine tasted great plain!

6
Let squash cook for about 2-3 minutes over medium high heat, stirring constantly until the squash has become more tender and the excess moisture has cooked out of the squash.

7
Prepare this just like you would any other spaghetti. Add meat, pasta sauce, vegetables, or Parmesan cheese.

And lastly, NOM NOM NOM! Super delicious!
