I got a couple of spaghetti squashes from the food co-op now I need to make sure there ripe & I need to find recipe's for them:
Spaghetti squash is bright yellow when it's mature, which if a stark difference to the creamy white color while it is immature. Like the butternut, spaghetti squash should be between 8 and 12 inches in length.

Puncture the spaghetti squash in several places with a skewer. Put the squash in a shallow roasting pan; add 1 cup water and bake it uncovered in a preheated 350 degree oven about 45 minutes.
Remove squash from the oven, slice it in half, scrape out and discard the seeds. Scrape out the yellow strands and fluff with the tines of a fork to form a vegetable spaghetti.
Toss all ingredients together lightly and serve immediately. Makes 8 side-dish vegetable servings.
