Spaghetti Squash Carbonara (256 calories)

Yummy! I cook spaghetti squash in the microwave though...I've never done the oven. Do you get a different flavor profile if you nuke versus baking?

IDK - I've never cooked it in the microwave, but I'm going to say, "probably." I usually prefer things cooked in the oven to those cooked in the microwave.

Here's a tip I got from Martha Stewart. You don't need to cut the spaghetti squash in half before you cook it. (It's really HARD - so hard that I've had the produce guy at the grocery store cut it in half for me so I don't have to do it.) All you need to do is stab it a few times with a sharp knife, and put it on a lined baking tray. Bake at 350°F for one hour. Then it's easy to cut in half, remove the pulp and remove the seeds. HTH.
