Steamed Spaghetti Squash

(modification of recipe originally from Cooking Light)

Serves 4

  • 1 (3-pound) spaghetti squash
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash halves, cut side down, in a baking dish; add ½ cup water to the dish. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving a vent for steam to escape. Microwave on high power for 15 minutes or until squash is tender when pierced with a fork. Carefully remove the plastic wrap. Scrape the inside of the squash with a fork to remove the spaghetti-like strands to a large bowl. Toss the squash strands with butter, thyme, salt and pepper.
