• 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. With a large metal spoon, scoop out the seeds. Drizzle squash halves with olive oil and place cut side up on a baking sheet.
• 2. In a medium bowl or a plastic zip-type bag, combine bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. In another bowl or zip-type bag, place the flour. You can season the flour if you like; for me, the breadcrumbs and cheese are enough. In a third bowl or pie plate, place the beaten eggs.
• 3. Dredge the cube steaks in flour, shaking to get rid of excess. One at a time, dip the cube steaks in the beaten egg, making sure that no flour stays dry. Then roll or shake the cube steaks in the bread crumb-Parmesan mixture.
• 4. At this point, you can pan-fry the cube steaks in olive oil if you prefer. I was feeling extra lazy this day and just placed them side by side on a 9 x 13 baking dish that I had covered with aluminum foil and sprayed with no-stick spray.
