Beef Ragu and Spaghetti Squash Recipe

I never knew how to microwave spaghetti squash until now. And boy, is it easy. I don't know why I didn't look it up sooner. Using the microwave is a quick and easy way to speed up your weeknight meal. While I don't cook in the microwave, I do like to use it to cook part of the dishes. Since I love to make ragu, this beef ragu and spaghetti squash recipe was a simple one to prepare. These ingredients are likely already in your pantry (affiliate) and fridge. You can make it tonight, perhaps. Try it and taste for yourself.
