Spaghetti squash is an oblong yellow colored winter squash that is named for the spaghetti like nature of its flesh. When raw, the flesh is hard and generally orange or yellow in color. When cooked, it comes apart in ribbons, giving it the appearance of spaghetti.
Spaghetti squash is one of the most nutritious veggies that we get in our CSA shares, and one of the easiest to prepare. This recipe from foodnetwork.com sweetens the squash with honey and minced ginger.
Here’s another great spaghetti squash recipe from steamykitchen.com. If you’re only feeding 4-6 people, I suggest cooking the spaghetti squash whole, then only using half of the squash when you’re ready to sauté with the tomatoes.
