Spaghetti Squash is best known for being the classic pasta alternative. When cooked, the flesh separates into long noodles resembling spaghetti. Spaghetti Squash is golden-yellow, oblong, weighs 3 to 7 pounds, and contains sweet yellow flesh. Spaghetti Squash is both nutritious and delicious and can be enjoyed steamed, baked, or boiled. Though Spaghetti Squash certainly doesn’t taste like spaghetti, it does look sort of like it when cooked, hence the name. Bake like squash or boil and fork out the flesh, topping the "spaghetti" with your favorite sauce.
