Take it out with mitts on, cool it a bit, slice it open and take out the seeds. Sometimes I have to cut a seed or two with scissors but it's so easy that way. By the time I get the rest of my ingredients ready, the squash is finished and I don't even feel like I've done anything yet. This looks so amazing. <br /><br />For the parent that has kids with allergies; "Follow Your Heart" has dairy free mozzarella and provolone cheese slices that would work as an egg and cheese swap. They taste good, and are very stretchy when melted. They are animal product free so you will find them in the Health food/ Vegan area in most larger grocery stores.

Only had 1 small spaghetti squash, so my crust was on the smaller side, but still used 1 egg and lesser seasonings. Crust formed nicely in the oven. I topped it with, Rao's marinara sauce (THE BEST SPAGHETTI SAUCE OF LIFE - if you have never tried it you need to - we buy it buy the case load in our house) anyway, topped with marinara, buffalo mozzarella (avoiding dairy and this is really from water buffalo and has no lactose - yippie!) sliced mushroom, sliced onion, sliced garlic, sausage crumbles, fresh basil, and then another layer of buffalo mozzarella and a drizzle of marinara ... baked for 15 minutes ... was AMAZING.<br /><br />Tips - I wanted to make sure the crust was crusty and so I baked the Spaghetti squash this morning - per directions. But then I dried dried dried with towels ... then I made into little patties and salted BOTH SIDES and placed in between two paper towels and left throughout the day - salt draws out moisture (learned this from cooking eggplant) then I pressed threw towels again ... then it was ready to make the crust ... it was CRUSTY not mushy it was AMAZE BALLS!

I drained and pressed out moisture in squash before mixing cheese, eggs, etc. I pressed it all into a 12" tart pan with removable bottom. Worked perfectly w/o parchment, drizzled a bit of evoo on bottom of pan. I did bake it for at least 30 min. I topped mine w/sauce and chopped grilled vegs, i.e. zuchini, eggplant, garlic, roasted red peppers.........whatever cooked vegs available....sooo good!<br />After my raving over it, my daughter made it for her family...five small children....and they loved every bite!<br />I can't wait to try the cauliflower version......tomorrow!<br />We are serious veg eaters.....thank you for the great ideas!<br />BTW, I made the black bean brownies and I cannot believe how delicious they are!

My only suggestion would be to make it in a deeper dish and serve it as more of a casserole type dish. You could still use the pizza toppings, etc... just not bake it on a pizza pan.
