How to Cook Spaghetti Squash While Eating Clean

Ever wonder how to cook spaghetti squash? It is an easy process and I was so impressed that I think the Johnson house will be incorporating the squash in our clean eating meals more often.

Cooked Spaghetti Squash

There are two ways to cook it. The LONG way or the Quick way. I chose the quick way since time is short in our house with the 5 of us.


Directions

Step 1: Cut the squash long ways to make halves.

Step 2: Scoop out the seeds and membranes until you have a squash "boat".

      

Step 3: Get a microwave safe dish and add 3/4 cup of water and place the squash down.

Step 4: Microwave on high for 8 - 10 minutes. Time may very depending on your microwave.

Step 5: Take vegetable out of dish and place on paper towel to cool.

Step 6: Once cooled, use utensil to remove inner core. The squash will naturally come out in spaghetti like strands.

Step 7: I like to drain mine on paper towels so all excess liquid is removed.

See I told you it was easy! The long way to make Spaghetti squash is in the oven and can take 45 minutes to cook. I can see using this method if you have multiple squash being used and can't fit into the microwave. I hope you decide to try spaghetti squash at least once now that you know how to cook it. It can be incorporated into dishes in lieu of noodles and there are many clean eating recipes that can be made using it.
