Microwaving Squash

RE: Microwaving Squash Post By sharon (Guest Post) (07/04/2008) Wrap them in a wet paper towel and cook about 5 minutes in the microwave. Good.

I pierce them with a knife (you know, stab them!) and put them in the microwave whole. Cook them about 7-9 minutes, depending on the size. Let them sit for a few minutes (they're like potatoes and continue to cook). Cutting them in half is a snap and removing the seeds is no problem either.

This way, the squash retains some of their crispness, and are not mushy. I think it holds up to the sauce better. Give it a try...NOW...if someone can please tell me how to easily cut them in half.
