Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If your squash needs to be reheated after stirring in ingredients, place in microwavable serving dish; microwave uncovered on High just until heated. Do not stir too much, or it will lose its spaghetti-like texture.
  • tip 2
    Use a sharp chef’s knife to cut squash in half lengthwise.
