Upon roasting, spaghetti squash emits a lovely, flowery flavor; subtle but earthy. Because it is not as sweet as other winter squash varieties, sprinkling a generous spoonful of brown sugar atop the yellow strands is the best way to eat it “plain”. To retain the modest flavors, prepare with a light garnish, such as a mild cheese seasoned with herbs and nuts. This Spaghetti Squash with Ricotta, Hazelnuts & Parsley recipe, inspired by Whole Living's spaghetti squash with herbs, uses hazelnuts and breadcrumbs to offer a crunchy contrast to the silky spaghetti ribbons.
