1. cut Squash in half lengthwise
  2. scoop out the seeds and fibers
  3. Then, place two squash halves cut side down in a baking dish with enough water to cover the bottom of the dish
  4. Bake at 350 degrees about an hour or until the skin gives easily when punctured and the inside is tender.
  5. Once the squash is cooked allow to cool for 10-15 minutes
  6. Then take a fork and scrape out the squash flesh little by little. It will naturally separate into noodle-like strands.
  7. Serve immediately with sauce…
