A native American vegetable, spaghetti marrow (Cucurbita pepo) is an oblong seed-bearing variety of winter squash. The fruit can range either from ivory to yellow or orange in colour or can even be green with white streaks. Its centre contains many large squash seeds. Its flesh is bright yellow or orange. When raw, the flesh is solid and similar to other squash but when cooked, the flesh falls away from the fruit in ribbons, just like spaghetti. Spaghetti marrow can be baked, boiled, steamed or roasted and served with sauce as for pasta, or used as a vegetable base for macaroni and cheese. It can also be used as a unique addition to salads. Spaghetti marrow contains many nutrients including folic acid, potassium, vitamin A, and beta carotene. It is also a food low in calories, averaging 75 calories in 8 cooked ounces.
