    Use a knife to cut the squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and pulp from the center and pitch. Place both pieces of squash on a baking sheet with cut side up. Rub olive oil over the cut surface and bake for 1 hour. When done, squash should be tender, and a fork should insert the middle easily.
