+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About the Recipe:  I know it’s hard to believe but the squash does form a delicious crust. The filling is loaded with sweet Italian meatballs and vibrant fresh tasting pizza sauce.  Yes – It’s meatballs and  veggie spaghetti !

Cook’s Note:   For a vegetarian pizza:
Eliminate the meatballs or replace with chopped mushrooms.

To prepare spaghetti squash in microwave oven:
Pierce the entire squash multiple times with a sharp knife.  This is important so the squash doesn’t break apart in the microwave.  To cut squash easier in half.  Place in 10 inch microwave safe dish with about 1/4 cup water in bottom; cook on high power for about 6 minutes; rotate squash once during cooking.  With a fork or knife, test to see if it is soft enough to cut in half.  If not, cook for 2 additional minutes.

Remove squash to cutting board. When cool enough to handle, cut lengthwise in half; remove; discard seeds.  Place half of squash, flesh side down in baking dish with a little water in bottom; microwave on high power for 3 to 5 minutes until flesh is very soft.  Remove to cutting board; cool.  Cook remaining squash half following same procedure.
