Squash is a healthy and delicious veggie. It is incredibly easy to prepare. Low in calories and rich in nutrients, squash is the perfect 'diet' veggie.

Protein Packed Pasta. This recipe for Squash 'n Spirals Summer pasta is high in fiber, rich in nutrients and high in protein thanks to the addition of delicious green soy beans. Whole wheat pasta, fresh garlic, red onion, lemon and orange flavors are the perfect compliment to thick-cut summer squash rounds.

Squash it! Squash your fear of squash once and for all. You'll be amazed at how easy to clean, cut and cook squash is. And since squash has a mild taste and absorbs flavors well, it goes with many different foods.
