I've got an over abundance of summer squash in the garden right now and needed a way to prepare it. This was very nice and enjoyed by me and DH. I didn't boil the squash but put it in a hot oven (350F) for about 30 minutes on a piece of tin foil and this made it nice and soft and easy to cut and didn't have to look for a huge pot. I also have to admit I forgot the bread crumbs until I went to submit this review. I know it would have been better with them, but just forgot and it tasted awesome anyways. I used a mexican blend of shredded cheese as that's what I had, this is a very forgiving recipe as even with all my mistakes it was still awesom - we had a lot left over so wrapped it in tinfoil, placed in fridge and tonight will just reheat and have with dinner. Thanks Dreamgoddess for sharing this recipe.

Not out of the oven yet - but I've eaten quite a bit as I've gone along - enough to know this is fabulous! I had a heck of a time finding a big enough pot to boil 6 squash in - perhaps next time I'll try microwaving them. Additionally, I used the Progresso seasoned bread crumbs as that is what I had on hand. I think this will develop into a lovely grill recipe - make ahead - wrap up - rewarm/cook on the grill at the boat - I'll update this when I try it! I also think you could use any other hard cheese - perhaps even feta - but not sure there! Thank you for another winner! Spring PAC 2009 Orphanage (HOW YOU GOT TO BE AN ORPHAN I"LL NEVER KNOW!!)

Delicious! I only used one huge summer squash. It came out great. Everyon loved it. We could have eaten it as a meal, all by itself. I'll make it again, and again.
