Native to North America, spaghetti squash is a fascinating variety that has become a staple in modern kitchens thanks to its striking stringy flesh. From the moment it's harvested, this squash reveals a unique culinary treasure: a pulp that, once cooked, separates into long, spaghetti-like strands, offering a plant-based alternative to traditional pasta.

In the garden, it flourishes as long, vigorous vines, generously spreading its stems, often adorned with bright yellow flowers. Robust and hardy, it integrates naturally into summer and autumn vegetable plots, bringing both abundance and originality to the harvest. A valued companion plant, it plays an essential role in crop rotation while offering a unique flavor and visual appeal to the plate.

The flesh of spaghetti squash, when steamed or boiled, separates into spaghetti-like strands, perfect for light recipes such as salads, stir-fries, or gratins. It keeps well for several weeks in a cool, dry place after harvesting. Traditionally celebrated for its nutritional value, it is also appreciated in vegetarian and gluten-free cuisines.
