• Fill the pan 1/4 full with water.
• Cover the top of the pan with foil.
• Let it cook for 1 hour or until the outside of the squash is tender.
• When the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop out the inside by working from the outer portion in to keep the length of the strands in tact.
• Sit to the side.
• The meal:.
• Heat the butter or olive oil in a pan.
• Chop the onion and garlic and saute it in the pan.
• Add the squash and coat it evenly with the butter or oil.
