    I just cut mine in half and microwave it. I like it with a little butter (ok, I use soy butter) and salt and pepper. My kids prefer it drowned in spaghetti sauce, so they can't taste it.

    I cut it in half clean out the seeds, put it cut side down in a glass pan put in about 1/2 inch water and microwave until tender. Depending on the size, I sometimes just leave the skin and scrape the squash loose add my sauce and use the skin as my bowl.

    After its cooked I tried layering it with sauce, some cheese and veggies and made a "lasagna" it was AMAZING and very low in calories. (I used homemade sauce to help control the salt)

    I either cut it in half and bake it or boil it. Baking takes forever - but it tastes better! Just salt and pepper the halves and place them face down on a pan you have sprayed with nonstick spray!

    it is amazing! you can microwave it...but baking is better. most raw foodists will agree it is great raw!

    i use it in place of rice or pasta. it has a great consistency like rice noodles. curry chicken is FABULOUS on a bed of squash in fact my husband prefers it to rice!
