Ingredients

1 pumpkin (se) (spaghetti squash)
some butter
a bit salt
some pepper

Instructions

Halve a spaghetti squash and remove the seeds. Place half the spaghetti squash, cut side down, on a microwaveable plate. Also put a few drops of water on the plate. Heat in the microwave for about 5 minutes at about 800 watts per pound of pumpkin weight. Then let it cool down for about 5 minutes.
Scrape out the pumpkin flesh with a fork (the pumpkin is done if this is very easy - if the meat is still too firm, put it in the microwave again and cook). The spaghetti threads are created by themselves. Season the pumpkin spaghetti with a few flakes of butter, salt and pepper and serve.
We like spaghetti pumpkin best as an accompaniment to grilled meat. But there are no limits to your imagination. You can also enjoy the pumpkin spaghetti like pasta with different sauces.
