Favorite way to cook squash and zucchini?

Grilled, olive oil and S&P.

Squash cooked down with shrimp and served over rice (I prefer basmati).

Creamy Parmesan Baked Zucchini

This is a big hit at our house.

Salt, let sit, and drain. Pulling that water out helps a lot with the texture. Very good raw after this process.

My favorite use for zoodles is a quick saute in a little oil. Add pepper, red onion, tomatoes, feta.

Best answer.

smothered with butter and onions

I grew up on my lil French Maw Maw's squash and ground beef casserole. She was from Morganza and used to tell me why the way she made it made it taste so good.

1. Use white summer squash (some places call it patty pan)
cut into small cubes and cook it down with simple salt and pepper. Overseasoning kills the dish. Simple is the key.

2. Scotch the grind meat. This is exactly what it sounded like when she said you have to scorch the ground meat. You have to almost burn the ground meat before you flip it. I didn't believe it first but when I made it for the first time she was absolutely right. This scorched beef gives an almost "nuttiness" to the dish and makes it distinctive.

Combine in a casserole dish and cover with buttered breadcrumbs(I use panko now) and bake for 20 minutes. When I want to freestyle I will add some soft cheese such as havarti or meunster, but I use it sparingly. The original recipe is fantastic and a keto dream. Use to prepare a huge pot and eat for a week and love every minute of it.


Also she used to do a big pot of yellow squash, canned tomatoes and ground beef and that rocked as well- but the white squash casserole is the best IMO.
