Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Bring one inch of water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add squash, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until a fork can pierce the stem with little resistance.
• Drain, and slice off the top stem of the squash. Use a melon baller to carefully scoop out the centers of the squash. Reserve all of the bits of squash. (I used larger squash so discarded the seeds - warning the squash is very liquidy in the center so I drained it a bit after scooping.
• Mince the reserved squash.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl with the minced squash, mixing well.
• Stuff each squash to overflowing with the mixture, and place them in a baking dish. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until squash are heated through.

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove bacon to paper towels, and set aside. Saute onion in bacon drippings. Chop the reserved squash pieces, and saute them with the onion for one minute.
• Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in the breadcrumbs. Crumble the bacon, and stir into the stuffing along with the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stuff each squash to overflowing with the mixture, and place them in a baking dish. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until squash are heated through.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a half sheet pan in the oven to heat for 15 minutes.
• Trim the woody ends and halve the squash crosswise. Scoop out the squash seeds, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Reserve the flesh. Brush the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Arrange the squash, cut side down, onto the preheated pan and roast until the squash is tender and the flesh side is browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the squash to a serving platter and set aside.
• Meanwhile, finely chop the reserved squash flesh. Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil shimmers add the chopped squash, shallot, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn, limas, pecans, and thyme. Cook until heated through, approximately 1 minute. Divide the stuffing evenly among the cooked squash and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Trim the stem end from each squash so it will sit upright. With a melon baller, remove the brown portion of the blossom end and discard. Continue to hollow out the seed cavity, retaining the trimmings, until you have a shallow bowl 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick on all sides. As the squash are prepared, place them in a lightly oiled baking pan.
• Melt the butter in a skillet, add the celery and scallions and saute five minutes, add the squash pieces and continue cooking until they are tender.
• Transfer the cooked vegetables to a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
• Stuff each squash with about 1/4 of the stuffing mixture. (Any remaining stuffing can be placed in a ramekin and baked alongside the squash.).
• Bake until the squash is tender and the stuffing is golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Steam whole squash until tender; drain and cool.
• Scoop out flesh, leaving about 1/4-1/2 inch border around the edges.
• Measure 1 tablespoon of the bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons of the parmesan (or romano) cheese; set aside.
• Chop the squash flesh in a bowl; mix in the cream cheese, green onion, cream, swiss cheese and the remaining parmesan and bread crumbs.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Fill squash shells with the above mixture.
• Top with the reserved bread crumbs and parmesan.
• Refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes, or until tops are brown.

Steps:

• Clean the squash and place them in the top of a steamer set oven gently simmering water. Partially cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender. Remove from the heat and, when cool enough to handle, scoop out the top 1/3, scooping deep into the center to make a nice cup to hold the filling. Chop the scooped-out squash into 1/4-inch dice and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and lightly oil a large oval or rectangular baking dish. In a large heavy skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until the aroma of the garlic is released. Add the zucchini and cook until tender, about 6 minutes. Add the reserved patty-pan flesh, almonds, cream, salt, and pepper ad stir for a few minutes, until the mixture is thickened and clumpy. Remove from the heat and stir in all the cheese except for 2 tablespoons, which will be reserved for garnish. Mound some of the mixture on top of each squash and place them in he baking dish. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with the reserved cheese then bake for 5 minutes more to melt the cheese. Serve the patty pans accompanied by a small sprig of marjoram.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat. Heat about 4 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over direct heat until it reaches 350 degrees F.
• Combine the ricotta, parsley and lemon zest in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place a tablespoon of the filling into each zucchini blossom, sealing them by bringing the petals up around the filling and giving them a little twist.
• Season the flour with salt and pepper, then dredge the blossoms first in the flour, then in the eggs and then again in the flour, being sure to shake off any excess flour.
• Working in batches if needed, carefully drop the blossoms into the oil. (Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.) Cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the blossoms to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and season lightly with sea salt. Serve immediately.
• (Alternatively, you can fry the blossoms over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat and place a rack on top.
• Halve the butternut squash lengthwise. Remove the seeds and discard. Using a melon baller, cut a channel into the neck of the squash, leaving a 3/4-inch border of flesh on the sides and bottom. Save the removed squash for another use or discard. Season the flesh with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a small skillet. Add the celery and onions and cook just until softened, about 3 minutes. Combine the celery and onions, cornbread, rosemary, thyme, sage, cranberries and pecans in a bowl and toss to combine well. Add the vegetable stock and mix just until moistened and combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Line the bottom of each butternut squash half with a layer of green beans. Top with the cornbread filling. Lay the carrot down the middle of 1 of the squash halves. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the butter over the carrot (enough to generously coat) and dot the cornbread mixture evenly with the remaining butter. Sprinkle the carrot with the brown sugar. Slide the squash pieces next to each other and carefully close the butternut squash and lay on one side. Tie in the middle and at each end with butcher's twine.
• Crumple a piece of aluminum foil into a 24-inch-long "snake". Curl this around and place on the prepared rack. Nestle the squash inside it so the squash sits flat on the rack and doesn't roll.
• Drizzle the whole squash with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast until a knife easily slides through all of the layers, 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let it sit for 10 minutes. Slice crosswise and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Heat 1 inch water to boiling.
• Add squash.
• Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender, drain.
• Cut off stem ends. Hollow out squash; reserve squash shells.
• Chop squash meat finely.
• Mix squash and remaining ingredients except cheese.
• Spoon 1 heaping tsp filling into each squash shell.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Place in ungreased square pan (9x2x2 inches).
• Bake uncovered 10 to 12 minutes.
• Microwave Directions: Place squash and 2 Tbsp water in square microwavable dish (8x 8x2 inches).
• Cover tightly and microwave on high 3 to 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
• Hollow out and fill squash shells as directed.
• Place in square dish.
• Cover tightly and microwave 2 to 3 minutes or til hot.
• *8 small pattypan squash (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter) can be substituted for the tiny squash.
• Spoon 1 heaping Tbsp filling into each squash shell.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Brush the inside of the spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until squash is easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bell pepper. Cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and basil, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes.
• Remove spaghetti squash from oven, cool slightly, and shred the cooked squash into spaghetti-like strands. Place strands in a bowl. Add bell pepper mixture, goat cheese, salt, and black pepper and mix until well combined. Spoon mixture back into the squash halves. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and butter cubes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and bread crumbs are browned, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place pattipans in boiling water and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Make white sauce with butter, flour, salt and milk. (On medium heat, melt butter, stir in flour and brown slightly, add salt, then add milk a little at a time, stirring constantly. (I usually use a about a third more milk than written above.) Once all milk is added, continue to cook and stir for a minute or two.
• Turn off heat, add cheese and crushed saltines to white sauce and stir.
• Scoop out the middle of each pattipan to make little "bowls". (I use my grapefruit knife.) Turn the pattipans over on a plate (so the juices drain out) and set aside.
• Add scooped out portion of squash to sauce and mash with a potato masher. Taste sauce and adjust seasonings as needed.
• Fill squash with the sauce, pouring the excess over the top.
• Bake for about 15 minutes, or until done.
• Note: If using table salt, use only a pinch rather than 1/8 t.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place squash halves in a shallow pan and cover with water.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool partially, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; do not drain fat. Add onion and garlic to sausage and cook and stir over medium-high heat until onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove flesh from squash, leaving 1/3-inch flesh in the shell to keep it sturdy. Mix squash flesh, sausage mixture, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, oregano, and cayenne together in a bowl. Stuff squash shells with mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
