Spaghetti squash is a versatile squash that has a hidden
bonus inside. When cooked, the inside shreds into long strands
that resemble spaghetti pasta. It is served with a tomato
based sauce for a low calorie treat.
Purchase fruit with hard rind, free of bruises and heavy for their size. Mature fruit are uniformly ivory-yellow and weigh two to three pounds.
Cure freshly harvested mature fruits at 80 to 86 degrees F. and 80 percent relative humidity for ten days. Store cured spaghetti squash at 50 to 60
degrees F. and at a humidity of near 60 percent. If the stem is loosely attached when fruit is purchased, it should be removed to allow the injured area to heal.
