Microwave: Spaghetti Squash Pizza

Recipe by Kendra Elrod Marquis :)

Spaghetti Squash Pizza

Start by microwaving the squash...
You’ll take a sharp paring knife and carefully, very carefully, pierce the squash in several places all over. It’s a hard squash, so it takes a bit of effort to do this. I guess a better instruction would be to say STAB the squash. But do this carefully, k?! The squash is a round, rolley, hard object.

Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, rotating the squash halfway during cooking.

After cooking, just let the squash sit there for a few minutes to cool down a bit. Put on some oven gloves and remove the hot squash.

The squash should cut open very easily, with no resistance. If not, return it back to microwave and let it go for another couple of minutes.

Once you cut it open, remove the seeds. If you’re only cooking for yourself, just use half the spaghetti squash, and save the other half for another recipe.

Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce in the middle and spread all over the "noodles" with the back of the spoon. Shred the squash with a fork, mixing the noodles with the sauce. Stir the sauce down into the squash halves, and then add a bit more to the top.

Add your cheese, meats, and veggies (onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, black olives...what ever you would want on a pizza) and place in the microwave for about 3 to 5 minutes, long enough to melt the cheese and soften the veggies. (If you have a toaster oven or something like it, bake in the over for 10 minutes).

I like to sprinkle pizza seasoning on the top, then serve.
