1
Slice squash in half lengthwise.
2
Scoop out the seeds with a spoon as you would a pumpkin.

Then completely submerge both halves in boiling water and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the inside is tender to a fork and pulls apart in strands.
4
(It is better to undercook if you are not sure).
5
Remove, drain, and cool with cold water or an ice bath to stop the cooking.
6
Then use a fork to scrape the cooked squash out of its skin, and at the same time, fluff and separate the squash into spaghetti-like strands.
7
Discard the skin.
8
Reheat the squash strands by dipping with a strainer in boiling water just before serving.
9
Top with Primavera Sauce.
10
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium high-heat.
11
Add broccoli and saute for about 1 minute.
12
Then whisk in cream and egg yolk and cook for only 1 to 2 minutes.
13
Next, add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly just to heat through.
14
Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the butter and the parsley.
