Vegetable Spaghetti Squash, Winter (Cucurbita pepo)
Vegetable Spaghetti Squash, Winter (Cucurbita pepo) also known as gold string melon, is unique among winter squashes in that the flesh falls away from the shell in strands like spaghetti and retains a tender, yet al dente, texture when cooked. With just a little butter and salt, you can make a savory flavor that is both delicious and low in calories. 5 to 7 squash can be harvested from each plant.
