We cooked one for the first time the other night. It was incredibly hard to cut open? Is that normal? We microwaved ours and it 'forked' easily but it was a little crunchy. I didn't like the texture. Is this normal? Or I wondered if maybe ours wasn't ripe yet??0

Wash it, cut it in half, scoop out seeds, put into large microwavable bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a lid; microwave on high 7-10 minutes, depending upon the size of the squash. The squash is done when you can easily scoop it off the thick skin. Now the fun part--use the squash in place of spaghetti noodles--top with spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese--yum! I like putting leftover spaghetti squash into commercial soups like carrot and ginger soup or a commercial vegetable soup. Very filling and very delicious.
Two years ago, I grew spaghetti squash and they were so prolific that I was hauling bags to friends to give away. Everyone wanted more. Fresh, home-grown squash are moister and sweeter than the ones I usually get at the grocery store. Can't wait for next year's summer garden!0 -

I cooked it recently and liked it with a little bit of crunch, but DH doesn't. I read that you can saute it after microwaving it or after baking as well and it changes the texture. I'm going to do that next time. Or maybe we aren't cooking it long enough??? Hope someone answers who cooks it regularly.0 -
OOPs! Forgot to say yep, cutting any winter squash should be listed under aerobic activity under the exercise tab! Butternut has to be even worse than spaghetti squash.
Again, maybe someone will tell us the best way to attack one.

whats it taste like?
It's kind of hard to describe. If you like yellow squash you will like spaghetti squash IMHO. It has a unique flavor.0 -
I just had to Google it to see what it was. Looks interesting.0

I freaking love spaghetti squash! I am even getting my husband who used to hate vegetables on board with me. Its so good in so many different ways... sometimes I cut it in half and roast it in the oven, and add some sea salt, pepper, and amish butter to it. I could eat it every day. I also like to mix in things I get out of our garden. Fresh peas, bunching onions, peppers... and melt a little pepper jack or cheddar cheese. It makes amazing casseroles, I've put it in cakes and pancakes. Nom nom nom.0

So many good ideas! I'm going to stock up and freeze a bunch!
On an I-don't-feel-like-cooking night, I nuked some leftover squash with salt, pepper and a laughing cow garlic and herb wedge. Not half bad!0
