How to Cook Microwave Spaghetti Squash with Sage-Browned

Ingredients

Spaghetti squash Extra virgin olive oil Kosher salt Black pepper Chopped walnuts Butter Fresh sage

Step 1: With a large, sharp knife, carefully split squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes with a spoon. Brush the flesh of each squash half evenly with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, then sprinkle each half with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/16 teaspoon black pepper.

Step 2: Place squash, skin side up, in a 9x13 baking dish. Microwave on full power for 15-20 minutes, until the tops give slightly under pressure when gently pressed (checking for doneness every couple of minutes at the end of cooking time.)  

Step 3: Meanwhile, while squash is cooking, toast walnuts in a small skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat as soon as the walnuts smell fragrant or begin to lightly brown. Set walnuts aside and carefully wipe out skillet.
