spaghetti squashes

Noodle-like vegetable interiors

Spaghetti squashes are oblong winter squashes with yellow or cream-colored skin.

When cooked, the flesh separates into strands resembling spaghetti noodles, hence the name.

Often used as a low-carbohydrate substitute for pasta: We topped the spaghetti squashes with marinara and meatballs.
