When summer rolls around, we always have an abundance of the classic yellow summer squash. We get tired of just sauteeing it all the time. Could someone please share a recipe or two that could use this type of squash?

Spinach Stuffed Squash (serves 8-10) DOn't let the long list of ingredients for this recipe deter you from trying it - This is EASY to make & very delicious!!

This makes quite a bit - if you'd like to make a smaller amount - just use fewer squash The leftover stuffing freezes well & can be used later for stuffed mushrooms!!

3 boxes frozen chopped spinach thawed with liquid squeezed out
1 stick butter
1 regular onion, chopped
1 small bunch (3-4) green onions, chopped
1 ;arge celery stalk, chopped
1/3 cup chopped parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup Italian bread crimbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 tsp thyme
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp onion salr
1/2 tsp garlic salt
8 large/10 small yellow squash
salt to taste
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 stick butter

Cut squash in half lengthwise and steam them until just half cooked with about 1 1/2 inches water in a large pot. Remove from pot and set aside to cool

Malt the butter in a saucepan and saute the celery, onion, green onions and parslay until wilted. Stir in the next 9 ingredients, then the spinach

Scoop out the seeds from the squash and discard. Stuff the squash halves with the spinach mixture; sprinkle each one with extra bread crumbs and dot each with butter

Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes

I have the same problem. I run out ideas fo how to fix it. The Italian squash sounds really good. I like any Italian recipes. I will have to try this one I am sure my family will love it. And be happy that I found a new way to fix it.

I love squash but I always seem to cook it the same way in the oven with butter and brown sugar. I would love to try it some different ways also. I will have to try these they sound yummy. Thanks.

Wow, thanks for those great recipes! I think I'll try the spinach-stuffed squash first, since I'm a huge fan of spinach (believe it or not). I'm looking forward to the time I'm overwhelmed with squash again!
