Or did I not cook it long enough?

I've never made it before tonight. It was about a 3 pound spaghetti squash, cut in half and deseeded, then cooked cut-side down in an inch of water in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes.

It tastes fine. Just wasn't sure how soft it's supposed to be?

    It has a little bit of a texture to it. It's not like noodles. Yummy stuff!!
