Start simple and work up.

Simple thing I cooked last night was spaghetti squash w/garlic and butter as a side to pork chops. Cut spaghetti squash in half, spoon out seeds and put the cleaned halved cut side down on an oven-proof plate. Bake at 375 or microwave on high for about 20 min. Scoop out cooked squash into bowl and mix with 4-5 cloves of chopped garlic and a chunk of butter. Microwave again for about 3-4 minutes and serve.
