    Try this with spiced pecans, maple syrup and parmesan cheese also – makes a great winter dish and blend the leftovers for soup. See I really do read your stuff

    I make spaghetti squash all the time, but I have never been able to cut the squash in half (too hard) before I cook it. Usually I cook it whole and punch holes with a fork- but it’d be much easier if I could cut it. Tips??

    Erica- Throw it in the microwave for a minute or two before trying to cut it. Softens it up and makes it WAY easier! :)
