I'm an avid lover of Spaghetti Squash now. I pierced my squash with a fork all over, then microwaved for 5 min before baking in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes and my squash
came out perfect. Thanks for posting such an easy recipe.

My 'spaghetti' was WAY too al dente for the time given in this recipe. I cooked it in the oven for 55 minutes, and then had to cook it on the stove for almost 30 minutes before it wasn't overly crunch. I also think it needed more juice (or maybe veg stock) and less parsley.
