1. Spaghetti squash--poke a couple of holes with knife in squash. Micro on high for 3-5 min until gives a little so you can cut in half. Cut in half. Take a dish that will fit both halves, cut side down. Put 2-3 tb of water in bottom of dish. Put squash cut side down. Micro 8-10 min or more until squash is cooked. (fail proof way to keep squash from exploding). When done, remove seeds with fork and then remove the strands of squash.
