Spaghetti Squash is here!

September 15, 2011 By Blue Skys Farm

We have harvested our spaghetti squash and will be bringing them to the market this weekend. Spaghetti squash is a winter squash that contains an inner flesh that turns into strands resembling spaghetti when cooked.

Serves 4

Serve these stuffed squash halves immediately or fill with the stuffing and refrigerate them, covered, one day in advance. Simply reheat them before serving.
