The beauty of seasonal squash is that there are myriad varieties available, which means it's nearly impossible to tire of it before autumn runs out. From hearty butternut squash and stuffable acorn squash to flat-shaped pattypan squash and golden spaghetti squash, there's a kind to please every palate, and the ways to use each are seemingly endless.

When it comes to spaghetti squash, its name suggests its likeness — spaghetti — although you have to open up the squash to get at the individual strings. Just halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise, then run your fork across the flesh to see it come apart into noodle-looking strands, which can be featured in much the same way pasta is. Read on below to get Food Network's top-five spaghetti squash recipes to find classic and creative takes on this fall staple.
