Question about Spagghetti Squash
« on: August 26, 2011, 15:52 »
Hi,
I brought some Spaghetti Squash seeds loose from a nursery and planted out 2. They have about 16 good sized squash on them, some are turning yellow from green. My question is when are they ready? Are they a winter squash or are they ready once yellow? Thanksc

Ready when yellow, I ate one last week, but they don't store for as long as pumpkins.

Oh blimmey better go & start using them then! What did you do with yours MOS? A couple of the yellow ones that are ready are too big to go in a pan or the microwave/ Any suggestions? Thanks

I cut mine in half and microwaved each half for a couple of mins before oven baking with a knob of butter in the hole where the seeds were.
When it was soft i forked out the strands, seasoned it, and topped with tomato/onion/courgette pasta sauce.
It made a pleasant change to pasta ;)

Last year, I found that they stored well if left on the plant till it died down in the Autumn and then dried off as Winter squash.
