Answer 3

I do it the same as cap12.  I just prick it in a few spots, and set it in a scant 1/4" water in the oven.  375-400 for about 30-45 min (depending how big it is).  Cut in half, scape out the seeds, then scape all of the shreds of squash into a bowl.  Eat with butter & salt ... spaghetti sauce ... mushroom alfredo sauce, or whatever.    It's alot easier to cut it in half after it's cooked; and the insides won't get watery...
