Spaghetti squash is only mushy if it is overcooked. I find it easier than zoodles.

In reply to pontoosuc. I have a spiralizer and hardly ever use it. Instead I use my mandolin and LOVE it! Makes the best zuchini noodles and is fast and easy to clean up.

Great post highlighting zucchini noodles, thanks! This chart needs some improvement though. The amount of each vegetable are not equal! There cannot be a comparison of the nutrients in each food if you have different quantities of food. Look at the sizes of each serving in grams. Please improve this. Excellent post otherwise.

You really should compare nutrition facts for equal weights – this comparison is not accurate. Just fyi!

I pressure cooked a whole 2# spaghetti squash in my instant pot. First I poked it about a dozen times with a sharp knife, a cup of water in the pot. Cooked on high pressure for 15 minutes. Quickly release the pressure. Cool for 10, then cut and scrape. There’s still a wait time but half of conventional.

In reply to Gabrielle. Sweet potato noodles would also be great in a tex-mex bowl!

Wishing I had made a zucchini tex-mex bowl instead of a spaghetti squash one for more than just flavor reasons now. Next time for sure. I don’t even like spaghetti squash!

In reply to EJ Hewitt. You need to get the Inspiralizer! It tackles sweet potatoes with no problems!!

The “new” spiralizer now has five blades and much sturdier and heavier than the 3-blade spiralizer. I am still learning the blades – wish there were a better description of the blades when I opened the tool for my first try. And, I might add – sweet potatoes are not the easiest veggie to start with – especially when using the blade for slicing. I thought I was having spirals since the A blade was loaded onto the spiralizer – live and learn. I will give it a few more tries – especially after reading my Bible – Pinterest!

But when taking into account you must wash a spiralizer, whereas with spaghetti squash you just wash a knife, how can you say that zucchini take 1-3 minutes? Take it out and wash it, then spiralize it, then wash the spiralizer, must take more than that I would think? I take into account all the time involved, and to me spaghetti squash prep time is simply less. Correct me if I am wrong?
