It's actually not bad if you cook it enough. If you don't, it's hard. But cooked well it really blends in with the marinara and you don't miss the pasta. I posted a recipe awhile ago for the spaghetti squash with herb butter that was good too, but just not for a main meal.
And I know you can microwave the squash, but honestly I like it better when I take the time to slice it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Then put in a baking dish with about 1/2" of water. Cover with foil and bake at 400 for about an hour, until it's soft. Then take a fork and pull out the "strands".
