With its unique texture and squash-like flavour, this product has long been a hit with health-conscious Britons seeking flavourful meal options.

The Spaghetti Squash will be available for a limited time only in M&S Foodhalls.

M&S suggested serving it with Bolognese sauce for a "low-carb, high-flavour alternative to traditional spaghetti".

This British-grown vegetable also aligns with the nation's growing interest in healthier meal options, offering a wealth of health benefits.

Shoppers are encouraged to act swiftly to sample this innovative squash before the season ends.

Taking to Instagram, Marks and Spencer said: "Well this seasonal British sensation is set to transform your dinner times this autumn.

"It may have a traditional squash-like flavour, but its flesh is anything but ordinary.

"Halve and roast it and the flesh turns into squiggly spaghetti-like strands!

"We love tucking into it with Bolognese sauce as a low-carb, high-flavour alternative to traditional spaghetti."

"Tempted? You best hurry…this super squash will be available for a limited time only!"
