Spaghetti Squash

This is the Squash season and I wanted to share with you the decadent squash!
This squash is almost sugary and light in his consistency, that makes it my favorite squash!

A Spaghetti squash is light yellow, long and pretty heavy for its size.

There is different technique to cook it:
You can cut it in half and cook it in the oven for about 50 min
or
you can cook it in the microwave 
(I know there is lots of negative point of view with this microwave!)

Anyway!
To cook it in the microwave,
poke your knife few time all around the squash.
Put in a micro-able dish with a tiny bit of water
Cook for 5min / pounds
it must be almost soft when cooked.


Cut it in half
(Warning it will be hot!)

Scoop the seeds

Then grate the fibers with a fork



And that's it!
You have a plate of  healthy Spaghetti Squash!

You can add some garlic, parsley or your favorite tomato sauce!

Enjoy!
