Wash the outside of the spaghetti squash and pat dry. Prick squash in a few places with a knife or fork. Partially cook the squash, uncovered, in the microwave, on HIGH, for 5 minutes.

Remove squash from the microwave using oven mitts or dish towels. Place the squash on a cutting board, and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. Use a chef knife to cut the partially cooked squash lengthwise in two halves. Scrap the seeds, not the squash strands, out with a grapefruit spoon or spoon. Discard the seeds. Drizzle the partially cooked squash with 1/2 TBSP flavored olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 TSP Kevin’s seasoning.

Place seasoned squash downward on a microwave safe dinner plate or large bowl. Sprinkle squash with 2 TBSP water, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave the squash for 4 minutes then check doneness with a fork. If needed, continue to cook at 1 minute increments until spaghetti squash is desired tenderness.
