Spaghetti Squash

This variety of winter squash has unusual string-like flesh, which looks like spaghetti when scraped out with a fork. They are often baked or boiled and then the mildly sweet flesh is scooped out and topped with spaghetti sauce.

Sold by the pound at farm stands. Typically available in September and October.

Stand the squash up and slice in half lengthwise around the "belly-button." Scoop out seeds.

To bake, place squash halves facedown on a cookie sheet. Add a 1/2 inch water to the pan to avoid drying out. Bake at 400 degrees. Squash will need about an hour to 90 minutes to cook, depending on size. Cook until tender. Flesh is done when it scoops out easily in spaghetti-like strings with a fork. Serve hot with butter and parmesan cheese or your favorite tomato sauce on top.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place at around 50 degrees, but make sure they do not freeze.

To freeze, let the cooked squash cool to near room temperature and then transfer the noodles to Ziplock freezer bags. Store for up to 8 months in freezer.
