Fall is here, and the shops are full of pumpkins of all kinds. One member of the pumpkin family is particularly tasty, and in its cooked form it becomes soft and tender in the form of spaghetti threads.

It is very friendly for the home cooks, inexpensive, and widely available in supermarkets. This is the spaghetti squash. 

It is quite easy to grow spaghetti squash in a home environment, as it can be grown both in a planter and in the garden. This squash should be  planted in the spring and harvested in the fall.

Spaghetti squash is often eaten in its baked form. It is sometimes served after it has been heated in the microwave, boiled in water, or cooked by steaming.

The seeds of the spaghetti pumpkin are also edible after roasting.

To make a delicious spaghetti squash easily, just cut it in half, drain the seeds and cook it in the microwave for 10-15 minutes until its contents are soft and separate from the peel.

Mix the contents of the cooked squash with olive oil, fresh thyme, and oregano, and serve on cooked pasta with lots and lots of parmesan, as a side dish or even on fresh sourdough bread.

Is there a food that’s as much a fall staple as butternut squash? There are so many ways to prepare the orange squash, such as a bacon butternut squash side or a roasted butternut squash soup, but one of the best ways is to simply roast it in the oven. Here’s the best way to do it.

You need to preheat the oven to 425°F in order to get the perfectly caramelized crust. While your oven heats, cut the squash into little cubes. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like it spicy.

Next, place the squash over the baking sheet and make sure you don’t overcrowd it. Toss in the oven and let it roast for 40-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when you can easily pierce the squash with a fork.

That’s it – you now have perfectly roasted butternut squash that you can use as a side dish for various fall lunches and dinners!
