I’m always asked how to cut a spaghetti squash.  And truthfully, it can be challenging the first time.  But, I’ve got some tips to help you get that squash cut.  First, make sure you are using a very sharp chef’s knife.  Sharpen it.  Second, use my microwave tip.  I put the whole squash in the microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften it.  It makes it easier to cut.  Just remember to stab the squash with the tip of a paring knife to let the steam escape when it is in the microwave.  That will keep the squash from exploding…and that is a good thing!
