How to Easily Cut Spaghetti Squash
Learn How to Easily Cut Spaghetti Squash in Half
Equipment
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry your spaghetti squash.
- Puncture it with a fork on the top and the sides multiple times. Go in superficially at first. Then go in a little deeper with the fork so that you're penetrating the surface a little bit more. That is going to help to vent the spaghetti squash better for you.
- Put it in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes with the punctured side facing up. Make sure it doesn't burn. The length you put it in depends on the size of your squash and the power and size of your microwave in watts. That's why we say 3 to 5 minutes.
- Then carefully remove it with oven mitts and allow it to cool on a cutting board.
- After it's cooled, flip it so that the bottom is facing up. The bottom is where it will be easier to cut into. You'll want to use a sharp knife. I find a serrated knife works best. And you'll slice it into two pieces. You can go either way, but I find the presentation of slicing it lengthwise to be more pleasing. Please always be carefully when cutting! And in no time, you will have an easily cut spaghetti squash.
