Tuesday’s Cupful: Personal Sized Spaghetti Squash

A smaller variation of the original

This type of squash, known as spaghetti squash, calabash squash, or vegetable spaghetti serves as a neat substitute to carb-loaded pasta.  The Mixed Stew Crew was quite taken with the cute size of these “personal-sized” spaghetti squash, which are a variant of the original.  Look not only for a smaller size but also a rounder shape to these baby spaghetti squash.  The yield, however, of all-natural spaghetti strands per specimen makes them well worth the effort to prepare.  Expect the same semisweet and nutty flavor that’s found in regular-sized spaghetti squash.
