Patty Pan Squash Casserole

One of the nice advantages about living in a small rural community is the sharing of fresh vegetables in harvest time. My friend stopped by the other day with a sack full of Patty Pan Squash fresh off the vine. We love Patty Pan Squash, they are really cute little squash that look very much like a flying saucer or a little scalloped cup holder. I knew that I had to make a dish with these awesome little squash, so I gathered up some vegetables from my own garden and this is what I came up with. This recipe is just packed with flavor and is a vegetable dish that we just loved. We will be making this one often, well until the squash run out for this year.

Recipe Tip

Your casserole will have as much liquid as the vegetables have, my tomatoes were very ripe and juicy so my dish had some wonderful sauce.
