Acorn Squash

Squash are truly great when oven-roasted, but in a pinch..the microwave is your friend. (Realize that Acorn Squash is relatively high in natural sugars, so have this only occasionally.) Cut one in half and scoop out the seeds. Add a tsp of water to each half and cover with saran wrap. Microwave both halves for 8 minutes. Carefully uncover and add a little salt/pepper. If eating it for a meal and not as a side, you may want to add 2 tbs ricotta cheese.
