One of winter’s most versatile offerings, spaghetti squash can be baked, roasted, steamed and sautéed, to be served as a vegetable or a lower calorie stand-in for pasta. Naturally sweet spaghetti squash is not only a dieter’s dream food, it’s rich in vitamins like beta carotene and folic acid. Ranging in color from deep orange to pale ivory, this veggie is brightening winter menus across the country.
