Ingredients

  • 1 small spaghetti squash (about 2 1/4 pounds)

  2. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and place, cut side down, in a baking dish. Add water to come 1/2 inch up the sides of the dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes, until the squash is easily pierced with a fork.

  8. Add the butter, spaghetti squash, herbs, salt and pepper and toss thoroughly but gently to heat and combine.
  9. Serve immediately or cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
