Squash recipes please

[soccerchick]

In my garden I have yellow squash out the wazoo. From one plant! I usually saute it and eat it as a side or toss some in with my pasta. I tried to give some away on the 4th of July, but only one neighbor took some; others said they didn't eat it

I'll grate and freeze some to add to soups and sauces, but can anybody share a recipe (or two or three) that you like?

Thanks!

I usually slice it thinly long ways, coat it in olive oil and a little black pepper and grill it until it is opaque and soft. Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash lemon pepper and serve. Surprisingly the kids like it too.

I haven't had the chance to try this yet but it sounds good.

Cheesy Squash Casserole

4 pounds yellow squash, sliced
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs, divided
1 1/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

Cook squash in boiling water to cover in a large skillet 8 to 10 minutes or just until tender. Drain well; gently press between paper towels.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and garlic, and sauté 5 to 6 minutes or until tender. Remove skillet from heat; stir in squash, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and next 7 ingredients. Spoon into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir together melted butter, remaining 1 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and garlic salt. Sprinkle mixture evenly over top of casserole.

Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes or until set.

Something my aunt made up and it's so yummy.

Chicken Cacciatore
Three boneless/skinless chicken breasts
28 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 large zucchini, sliced thickly
2 yellow squash, sliced thickly
A pint fresh mushrooms, quartered
Pasta or rice of your choice

Put chicken breasts and can of tomatoes in large pot. Bring just to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for approximately 45 minutes(stir occasionally so chicken cooks through). Add zucchini and yellow squash. Cover and simmer 1/2 hour (stir once). Add quartered mushrooms. Cover and simmer 1/2 hour (stir once). You can leave the chicken whole, or break it up as you're stirring it.
Meanwhile, cook pasta or rice. Serve chicken and veggie mixture over pasta/rice.

This is super yum and makes a LOT!!! I ate off this for three days afterward (it's just my DH and me, essentially, because DD only eats a little bit). You can sub other veggies in the winter if you like.

I made a baked pasta the other night with zucchini, but I would think it would work well with squash too.

2.5 cups uncooked pasta
1 can tomato sauce
1 small can, undrained diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
1 sliced zucchini or squash
sliced pepperoni (I cut about 20 slices in half)
1 can mushrooms (drained)
1/2 small onion diced
1/2 green pepper cut into small pieces
Mozzarella cheese

Cook and drain pasta according to package directions. Mix all ingredients except cheese in a 9x13 baking dish sprayed with cooking oil. Bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Remove from oven and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Place back in oven and bake about 10 more minutes or until cheese is melted.

You can add or subtract ingredients according to your tastes. I may try a jarred spaghetti sauce next time in place of the tomato sauce to give it a thicker sauce.
