To cook squash spirals, you can sauté them in a pan with a little olive oil and your favorite seasonings. They cook very quickly, usually in just a few minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight bite. You can also add them directly to simmering sauces or soups, where they will cook in the liquid. For a baked dish, layer them with cheese and sauce and bake until bubbly. They absorb flavors well, making them a great base for many different culinary creations.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried pasta, squash spirals are made from fresh vegetables and have a much shorter cooking time. Their texture is softer than most dried pasta, and they absorb flavors readily, making them a good choice for lighter meals.
