Thinly slice garlic and spread garlic into the bowl like shape of the squash, salt and pepper vigorously, drizzle with olive oil 6. Place onto the upper middle rack of the oven for about 30-40 minutes. (You will know it is ready when the squash separates with little resistance from the skin). 7. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool for at least 20 minutes. 8. Use a fork to scoop and separate squash strands. 9. And any other ingredients you like. Herbs, cheese, veggies, meat, olives are all excellent additions to this dish, the list is endless. NOTE: If you use a loose tomato based sauce do not add it immediately to the squash; this makes the squash runny, mushy, and unpalatable. Instead garnish the dish with a little bit of sauce atop the squash, and then offer more sauce on the side, in a separate dish.
