I cut it in 1/2, well, this was less than half, but anyway, I then pierced the skin i with a knife and placed it flesh down on a microwavable plate for 10 minutes (you're suppose to microwave it until the flesh becomes soft). After removing from microwave, I let it sit for about 3 minutes and removed the seeds. Next time I think I will remove the seeds first before microwaving (I think that would be easier). Anyway, afterwards I removed the strands with a fork, put a pat of butter, parmesan, and Lawrys Garlic powder mixed it all up and then chowed down.
I'm not sure how to check for ripeness, I just had the produce guy get it for me and looks like I lucked out, but I can tell you that the one I got was very firm and a light pale yellow color. It has somewhat of a sweet taste to me.
I just checked out DRNDR book and found this recipe for spaghetti squash on page 461:
Baked Spaghetti Squash with Garlic-Sage Cream
It's basically the ingredients I stated above, only he bakes the spaghetti squash and adds the ingredients in a cream base using heaving cream.
I'll try this version for tomorrow's lunch since I have all the ingredients. I've been trying to find a recipe to use my sage so I guess this is it. I'm sure it is very tasty too.
