squash noodles? bake them into a quiche?

Pretty limited if you are not grilling, roasting or sautéing. You can fry or make noodles as mentioned. My preferred method is cooking down with onions, smoked sausage (or bacon or Tasso), and fresh tomatoes. Call it a smother instead of sauté and get after it.

Fry up some bacon, brown some onions & smother the squash (notice I didn't say sauté), add a lil pinch of sugar cause my grandma told me too.

Fresh picked squash is such a treat. I wrap them in foil and bake. Then, split them open, add some butter, s&p and a little parmesan.

Sometimes, I make a simple casserole like this one. It doesn't bury the squash flavor.

I love the squash and thyme soup in the link below. It's very very good. I use a little more fresh thyme than it calls for.
