In a small skillet, melt margarine over medium low heat; add garlic and cook until tender, about I minute. Drain squash and cut in half crosswise. Scoop out seeds. Run tines of fork lengthwise over squash to loosen spaghetti-like strands; scoop out strands into baking dish or serving bowl. Add garlic mixture, parsley, yogurt, and pepper to taste; toss to mix.
To microwave, rather than boil: Pierce spaghetti squash in 10 to 15 places with a fork; place in microwave safe dish and microwave at high (100%) power for 5 to 7 minutes per pound, or until tender when pierced with fork. Turn over halfway through cooking. Let stand 5 minutes.
In a steamer: Cut squash in half crosswise; scoop out seeds. Steam for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender.
