Spaghetti Squash in the Microwave
I have made spaghetti squash in the microwave a few times but never really perfected it until now. I usually make spaghetti squash roasted in the oven or in the crock pot, but tonight I wanted to try it in the microwave again. I used a super sharp knife to pierce the squash all the…
