@Html.TextArea or @Html.TextAreaFor

Same as the other HTML helpers.

You can also add the following annotation to your model

[DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]

When you call EditorFor you'll get a textarea rather than a textbox.

If you're talking about actually changing the scaffolding template, you need to create your own template.
