SPAGHETTI SQUASH
This squash is a favorite for winter recipes. By scraping the flesh with  a fork, you’ll get strings that resemble spaghetti, it’s the perfect alternative to pasta noodles.  Cut in half, drizzle with olive, salt and pepper, poke holes in the skin and roast it cut side down.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH
This squash is easier to handle after cutting the neck from the body and working with each section separately. This winter wonder is hearty enough to play a main entrée or pair with sweet or savory ingredients.

ACORN SQUASH
This mild-flavored squash is named for its acorn-like shape. Choose one with a dull green rind – orange acorn squash will be tougher to use. It’s buttery taste make it perfect to stuff, roast, mash or purée into a soup.
