Large, oval and yellow, this variety has a moist, mellow, nutty flavor. This squash is known for its unusual, cooked, yellowish flesh that separates into long, translucent strings that resemble pasta.
Spaghetti squash have a hard rind, and unique flesh that separates into strings when cooked. Microwave, steam or bake whole squash, then halve, remove seeds and scrape flesh with a fork to separate. Prepare simply, with oil and Middle Eastern spices, fresh herbs and cheeses, or tomato sauce for a "spaghetti"-like dish. Mix cooked squash with steamed greens and onions; add milk or cheese and bake into a gratin; combine with green vegetables and beans. Spaghetti squash will keep, uncut, for weeks at room temperature.
