Patty pan squash - help

[Suzanne]

I buy in an italian deli little patty pan squash stuffed with cheese and marinated in oil. I have grown patty pans this year and have losts of little baby ones which would do beautifully for this recipw. Only problem i have no idea what i need to do - i think the patty pans are blanched so they absordb the dressin. But does anyone have a recipe that might fit the bill?

Thanks
Suzanne

Just re read my message and the spelling is appalling - that will teach me to try and cook and use the internet at the same time.  :-\

Can't help you with the recipe but you made me laugh about your spelling!!

If all else fails might be a good idea to get cheeky and ask the deli owner for the recipe!   :D

--- and if you get it please post here as I have some that are a little large and need the pickling treatment. ;D ;D ;D

Suzanne,
if jitterbugs great suggestion doesn't work..........

I would follow a recipe for marinated mushrooms and substitute them for the squash. They have a similar texture and absorbency!
Something like this perhaps?

Though I think cooking for 10 mins is a bit too much unless you want them mooshey, and I woould add some herbs & garlic into the oil too!
