hysteria (great name that I can relate to this morning.)

No need for a hack saw. Stick the spaghetti squash with a fork or knife a couple of times, put it in the microwave in a dish, covered with saran wrap for about 5 minutes, let it cool, then cut and proceed to cook as you want. This works for any of the hard skinned squashes, and makes life ever so much easier. Hack saws rust in the dishwasher.
