Cucurbita pepo

This unique variety produces large fruits with spaghetti like flesh which makes a perfect substitute for pasta. Easy to grow with up to 7 fruits per vine with a weight of up to 1.8kg each. When raw, the flesh is solid and similar to other raw squash; when cooked, the flesh falls away from the fruit in ribbons or strands like spaghetti. The fruits can be stored for several weeks.

Delicious served with butter as a side dish.
