It’s the season of all things fall, which means apple pie, pumpkin and the frequently under-appreciated squash. My personal favorite version of this seasonal veggie is spaghetti squash. Luckily, it’s extremely easy to make. Here are this autumn’s hottest s.s. recipes–I promise they’re full of all that fall spice and flavor.
