Baked Spaghetti Squash w/ Fresh Tomatoes & Parmesan Cheese image

The video below shows how to cook the spaghetti squash in the microwave if you'd rather cook it that way, instead of in the oven. We love the oven texture/flavor the most, but the microwave is still great and super easy.

BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Baked Spaghetti Squash image

Once baked and scraped into noodle-like strands, spaghetti squash becomes a frequent pasta understudy, tossed with pesto, tomato sauce or roasted vegetables. But it's a versatile ingredient, as its mild flavor and gentle crunch also make it a good base for stews or even curries. For a basic roasted spaghetti squash recipe, follow Step 1, scrape the insides into strands, and be on your way. For a complete side dish, proceed with the rest of the recipe and top with herby breadcrumbs and Parmesan. You can also add mozzarella, which will melt into delicious little pools among the squash strands.
