Heritage: The traditional "vegetable" spaghetti squash is believed to have originated in the Americas. Flavor profile: Mild, lightly sweet and fresh; perfect for saucing. Try it: Serve the cooked long strands with pasta sauce as a delicious pasta substitute. Unlike other varieties, this one separates into spaghetti-like strands that are "combed" out of the shell with a fork after cooking. It doesn't lend itself to making a puree. It has a slightly crunchy texture and mildly nutty flavor. You can use it like regular spaghetti, topping it with sauces or tossing it with basting oil. Spaghetti squash is also a lower carb option. While a cup of cooked spaghetti has 200 calories, 40g carbohydrates and 2g of fiber, a cup of cooked spaghetti squash has just 40 calories, 10g carbohydrates and 2g of fiber.
