Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) spaghetti squash
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Pierce squash (about an inch deep) all over with a small sharp knife to prevent bursting. Cook in an 800-watt microwave oven on high power (100 percent) for 6 to 7 minutes. Turn squash over and microwave until squash feels slightly soft when pressed, 8 to 10 minutes more. Cool squash for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over moderately high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Stir in spices and salt and remove from heat.
Carefully halve squash lengthwise (it will give off steam) and remove and discard seeds. Working over a bowl, scrape squash flesh with a fork, loosening and separating strands as you remove it from skin. Toss with spiced butter and cilantro.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh vegetables, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful spices.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. This recipe is a great base, but you can add or omit ingredients to suit your taste.

If you don't have time to make the tomato sauce from scratch, you can use a good-quality store-bought sauce.

Serve the spaghetti with a side of grated Parmesan cheese and crusty bread.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
