I was told that you cut it open and cook it and use it instead of spaghetti noodles... have you ever tried this? cooks.com has several recipes involving “scalloped squash” another name for patty pan squash =) most of them involve scooping out the inside, mixing it with cheese and stuffing mix, and filling them back up with it.

I cook a very small amount of whole wheat angel hair pasta and then mix in the veggies and top with low-fat parmesean and Italian herbs. It keeps me from overindulging on the pasta. Also, to keep from using much olive oil, I add a little water to the pan once everything is in and cooking. I'm really enjoying your blog and hope to get back on WW points and finish what I started.

Everyone always asks her what they are & how to eat them. I just cook them up with regular zucchini, fresh garlic, fresh mushrooms & red onions in a little olive oil & it's delish! Sometimes I sprinkle parmesan on top. Ours here are yellow. I just love saying the name! My mother-in-law grows these in her garden here in Wisconsin & also sells them at the farmer’s market.

I'm sure i already saw these over here in Europe too, but as tallmama, they were not white but rather yellow!<br/>I remember my dad cooked a risotto with them and it was really good, slightly sweeter than zuchini but still delicious!<br/>xxx hm… I’m sure i already saw these over here in Europe too, but as tallmama, they were not white but rather yellow!

They were green and yellow. I don't think I ever saw white. I really loved them and thought too they were similar to zuchini (sp?). I didn't really get in to preparing them as I was backpacking around and staying in hostels...but I have missed them and wondered if they are around this part of the world...
