About Squash, winter, spaghetti, raw
Spaghetti squash earns its name through a kitchen party trick: roast or boil it and the cooked flesh pulls apart into long, tender, pasta-like strands. That quirk has made this oval, pale-yellow winter squash a popular low-carbohydrate stand-in for noodles.
It is remarkably light for a winter squash at about 31 calories per 100 grams, supplying fiber, vitamin C, some B vitamins and modest potassium. Its mild, faintly sweet flavor is a blank canvas, which is exactly what makes it work piled with sauce in place of pasta.
It is always eaten cooked. The simplest method is to halve it, scoop out the seeds, roast until tender, then rake the strands free with a fork — to be topped with marinara, pesto, or anything you would serve over spaghetti, for a fraction of the calories.
