The Spaghetti Sloth is a mythical and limited-edition pet introduced in the Cooking Update of Grow a Garden. This adorable sloth is dressed in a chef’s outfit and is known for its unique cooking-related abilities. The only way to obtain the Spaghetti Sloth is by hatching the Gourmet Egg, making it a rare and exclusive pet in the game.
Appearance
The Spaghetti Sloth looks like a typical sloth but wears a white chef’s hat and chef’s coat, symbolizing its culinary theme. Unlike most pets, it actively holds a spoon in one paw, adding personality and charm to its design.
Unique Trait
The Spaghetti Sloth has a special passive ability called Al dente. At intervals ranging from 3 minutes and 20 seconds up to 14 minutes, it approaches a nearby fruit in your garden and “does-a-cooking.” During this cooking action, it applies one of three possible mutations to the fruit:
- Pasta
- Sauce
- Meatball
If all three mutations (Pasta + Sauce + Meatball) are combined on the same fruit, they will merge to create the Spaghetti mutation — a unique and valuable trait that can boost your garden’s productivity or appearance.

About the Gourmet Egg
The Gourmet Egg is the only source to obtain the Spaghetti Sloth. To get a Gourmet Egg, you must interact with the pig chef named Chris P., who is found in the center of the island. By feeding Chris P. cooked meals, you earn Gourmet Eggs as rewards. It is recommended to give him Legendary-level meals to increase your chances of receiving a Gourmet Egg, but even then, obtaining one is not guaranteed because of its rarity.
Hatch Chance and Rarity
The Spaghetti Sloth is a Mythical pet with only a 4% chance to hatch from each Gourmet Egg. Because of this low chance and the difficulty in acquiring Gourmet Eggs, the Spaghetti Sloth remains one of the more elusive pets in the game.
What Does the Spaghetti Sloth Do in Grow a Garden?
Aside from being a cute companion, the Spaghetti Sloth actively helps your garden by applying special mutations to fruits. Every 3 minutes and 20 seconds to 14 minutes, it chooses a nearby fruit and “does-a-cooking,” which applies one of three mutations: Pasta, Sauce, or Meatball. These mutations can affect how fruits grow or combine with each other, adding a strategic layer to your garden management. When all three mutations combine, they create the powerful Spaghetti mutation, which has unique benefits.
