Can I cut my squash plants back?

Chuckey, TN(Zone 6b)

I have squash plants wandering all over my garden and swallowing up plants or climbing bean trellises. Some of the plants, like the spaghetti squash, have formed a lot more than we will ever consume. Can I cut the leading ends off the plants and allow the formed to develop without hurting anything?

You can trim them back, but don't go too crazy -- they'll need that foliage if you get hit hard with squash bugs or other nasties.

You can also eat the baby squash like you would summer squash.
