I use them just like courgettes! : ) -
I cut mine in half across the middle and either steam them.... or stuff them, put the 'lid' back on and bake them in the oven wrapped in foil and a big blob of butter."Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Pan fried with a small amount of olive oil and garlic. Keeps the flavour much better than steaming although roasted or stuffed is also good although I tend to brush with oil rather than a big dod of butter.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Lovely roasted, or pan fried.

Curried.
Roasted with garlic and tomatoes.
Split in half and grilled, basted with olive oil, lemon and garlic.Le Sarramea https://jgsgardening.blogspot.com/Comment

You can eat them raw in salads too.
Pretty sure that they taste of absolutely nothing on their own though. Maybe it's just me that thinks this?Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/TASallotmentComment

I cook mine for a while in a suacepan to soften a bit- then take the seeds out, fill with savoury rice mix, cover the top with cheese slices and pour a tomato based sauce around it and bung in oven til cheese is brown and bubblng and squash is finished cooking YUM!Comment

Seconded. In deli's stuffed patty pans or stuffed peppers are the sort of thing that they charge a lot for. I like a marina sauce and mozzarella, rather like the above recipe. I also like a mix of pork/sausage/mortadella with rice or breadcrumbs and with or without a cheese sauce...Originally posted by Thelma Sanders View Post

Little ones can be lightly pickled whole, then scoop out a hollow in the top and fill with a herby goats cheese for serving as part of an anti-pasti. Num, num, num.....When the Devil gives you Cowpats - make Satanic Compost!

Like to stuff with any mince sauce type and bake with grated Parmesan on top. Quick and easy.Comment
