A relative of the zuccini, a spaghetti squash, is my favourite veggie. I first saw it many years ago on a Julia Child TV prog - yes, they even broadcast her in New Zealand!
They're not easy to find but real easy to cook - just boil it whole until soft (unless you want to remove the seeds first and grow some yourself).
Then I prefer it in cheese sauce tho you can use tomatoes instead. I make it just like macaroni cheese and it's yummy. And much more healthy than flour and water pasta.
