Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and pulp (just like cleaning out the inside of a pumpkin at Halloween.)
Place on the baking sheet cut side up. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Outer skin will be soft when done and flesh will be very tender.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Pull a fork lengthwise through the flesh to separate it into long strands. It comes out easily and looks like thin spaghetti.
