| Not terribly flavorful, but tasty enough with a good sauce. Very productive. I had to cut back half my vines (planted them way too close) but still got 4-5 squash per plant, despite the less than ideal conditions. Squash still keeping well in January. |

| I love spaghetti squash with a coating of butter or olive oil and sprinkled with herbs and garlic. I also like it with more traditional sauces. My mom who is a new vegetable phobic person actually likes these is pasta sauce. Growing them was a different story. I tried growing these in a three sisters garden, but i think I planted it all wrong. Everything was overcrowded and instead of protecting one another, the three sisters seemed to harbor one another's pests! The plants grew to about 6 feet long in the drought, but then became infested with squash bugs that i never managed to get under control. I got about 2 fruit from each plant and then tore them out of the ground trying to keep the beetles from my other cucurbits. I'll try them again, but only because I love to eat them. |
