Identify Squash Plant #283017

Attached is a photo of a plant with fruit that I found growing in my garden. In the area was a cucuzza plant that didn't survive. On either side was a spaghetti squash plant and a jack o lantern pumpkin plant. It has some resemblance to cucuzza but not quite. Please help to identify. I live in Elverson, PA.

This is probably a hybrid of the 2. The squash plant family readily hybridizes among the various types and you can get some very interesting results! Hopefully it tastes good - but will make an interesting fall ornament in either case - enjoy!
