Avoid boiling, it tends to yield waterlogged, bland, or tasteless flesh. As a general rule, it \u2018s better to slightly overcook squash rather than undercook it, with the exception of spaghetti or Orange squash; overcooking those varieties makes their signature noodle-like strands gummy and mushy.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebfarm.com\/search?for=squash\">Earthbound Farm Ingredient Archive <\/a>to find interesting new ways to prepare winter squash and pumpkins.
