CSA Ingredient of the Week – Patty Pan Squash

In the last couple of weeks we’d been getting a lot of lumpy white patty pan squash in our CSA share. Patty pan squash is one of those veggies that I just haven’t been exposed to that much before and I certainly had never cooked with it until recently. Isn’t that true of so many fun CSA-inspired ingredients? So far I’ve dabbled with this funny looking squash a little bit, but we have a big stockpile of it waiting to be cooked up. In all honesty, our CSA share is a bit much for just two people – I mean, really, how much kale, lettuce, collards, and cabbage can one couple eat? So I’m hoping to cook up some good things over the long holiday weekend to share with family to help lighten the load a little bit and to prevent anything from going to waste. One of the big things I need to devise is a fabulous recipe or two to help use up all this patty pan squash I have piled up in my house. Any suggestions? I’d love to know your favorite recipe or your favorite way to eat patty pan squash!
