      Thank you Johnney! I wondered if you could freeze this squash and you answered that for me! You did a great job explaining the different ways to make this squash. I will try them all. Many thanks again.

      Thanks for posting these great steps. I haven't ever had or cooked with spaghetti squash before, but my husband and I are trying to eat healthier, so I thought I might give it a shot, and this is very helpful!

      DD and her BF used the microwave method to prepare a squash. It turned out perfect and was very quick and easy. Thanks for sharing these methods. We'll be cooking spaghetti squash often.

      This is exactly what I was looking for... I just cooked one based on someone else's information. And I know I under cooked it. I'd never made it before so I had no idea what to expect. Freezing and storing was a great addition as well. Thanks so much for posting!

      Haven't tried spaghetti squash in years. Tried it tonight and it was wonderful. However, once I scraped the strands from the rind there was much liquid (water?). Suggestions?

      I used the microwave method and it was so easy! I could only do half at a time bc my squash was so big, and I also didn't cover based on another review. Next time, I will definitely cover however because the edges of the squash got dried out. After combing out the squash, I served with doctored up canned spaghetti sauce and it was great! Thanks so much!

      I tried the microwave method and it worked great!! I didn't even use plastic wrap over the top I just stuck it in with the water for about 13 mins. I had never cooked spaghetti squash before and I had no problems getting it to come out in nice strings with a fork after removing from the microwave. Thanks for the info!

      Came out perfect! I did the microwave method in a 1250 watt oven, with 1/2 inch of water in a French casserole dish with a glass lid. I cooked it for 15 min. Delicious.

      Yum! I used the fast microwave method and it worked like a charm. While it was cooking, I diced 6 roma tomatoes and sauteed them with some garlic powder, salt, pepper and italian seasoning, then let it simmer (covered) for another 15 minutes or so. I had a really great homemade pomodoro sauce to go with my squash. Fantastic! I love squash as it is, but this is a miracle food when watching calories or trying to get more veggies. :)

      Thank you, I hadn't made spaghetti squash in a long time and forgot how to do it. I used the oven method since it is cold out. Spaghetti squash should be on the menu even for people who don't care for squash (like myself) since it is so mild; it would go with almost ANY sauce a cook could come up with. Thanks again for a real "go-to" tutorial.

      It was great in the oven! 1.5 hours with some stab wounds to the side made it come out perfectly. The 'noodles' were nice and fluffy, not damp like when I microwave it. Veggie hating husband applauded!

      We have lived in a time warp and have never tried spaghetti squash prior to this! I used the oven method since it was cold outside, and it cooked up perfectly and shredded like a dream! I tossed it with butter and an Italian herb blend. It was scrumptious! My daughter added shredded Parmesan to hers, and made yummy noises while eating it. I might mention she is a veggie hater! Looks like spaghetti squash is on the menu again...especially when I mentioned alot of people use spaghetti sauce on it. I also cannot wait to try other herb blends with it. Thanks for sharing these techniques with us all, there's one for everyone, so no more excuses NOT to try spaghetti squash!

      I had never cooked a spaghetti squash before. This turned out good. We used the baked method. We cut the squash the short way and it makes the "noodles" longer. Thanks for sharing!

      This was so easy and good! We have never made spaghetti squash before, and were very happy with the microwave method. We microwaved the halves on a large plate with 1/4 c water, covered with plastic. We cooked for 11 minutes and it was perfect. We served it with butter, garlic, salt and italian cheese baked for a few minutes in the oven. Thanks, Johnney!!
