Pattypan squash in the oven
Description
Pattypan squash is perfect for stuffing. You can use a vegetable filling, meat filling, or add cheese, herbs, cottage cheese. Baking time depends on the size of the vegetable. Remove the finished dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. I recommend serving whole, sprinkled with fresh herbs.
