Steps:

• To cook squash in the microwave, cut squash in 1/2, scoop out the seeds as if you were cleaning cantaloupe only it will be a little harder. Lay cut side down on a piece of microwave safe plastic wrap placed directly on microwave bottom or plate.

Cook times will vary depending upon the size and variety of your squash.

Discard bay leaf before serving. Garnish with dill and chives, if desired.
