Spaghetti squash cacio e pepe

step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Microwave the spaghetti squash for 1 minute.

step 2
Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place cut side down in a baking dish with water. Bake for 25 minutes or until the inside of the squash is fork tender.

step 3
When the squash is cool enough to touch but still nicely warm, use a large fork to remove pasta-like strands. Combine with butter and garlic (the heat of the squash should melt the butter) in a medium-sized bowl and toss with salt, pepper and cheese. Serve warm.
