Any ideas on how to cut it and how to cook it would be so welcome!

Hi Jules,
Spaghetti Squash is surprisingly good!
1. Cut squash in half, lengthwise
2. Remove seeds with spoon
3. Cover each half with plastic wrap
4. Microwave both halves together on high for about 12 minutes
5. Let stand until cool enough to handle (I actually hold it with a oven mit so I can handle it before it cools enough)
6. Poor off excess water
6. Scrape with fork to form spaghetti and put into a pan (this is really fun)
7. Add the sauce (only as much as needed) to the spaghetti squash
8. Cook until heated
9. Add a little parmesan cheese
SERVE AND ENJOY!
You can also use a low fat butter alternative (e.g., Smart Balance, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, etc.) instead of the sauce.
