tablespoons
olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Add a pinch of salt and pepper per side to the opening

Oven Baked Spaghetti Squash
Preheat oven to 400°F
Place cut side down onto a parchment lined baking sheet
Bake for 40 minutes at 400°F
Flip over and bake for another 20 minutes
Take out of oven and shred with two forks (be careful not to touch the squash with your hand when it comes out as it will be hot)
Sauce and serve
Microwaved Spaghetti Squash
Place cut side down into bowl with 1 inch of water
Seal bowl with saran wrap or cling film
Microwave for 12 minutes
Let it cool for 10-15 minutes
Shred with two forks (careful not to touch the squash, as it will still be hot)
Sauce and serve
Notes
If you do choose to use the oven (though overall, I recommend the microwave method), your cook time will be 1 hour rather than 30 minutes.
