Use them in any way you would any other summer squash--and I am very jealous. . .
every time I try to grow the pale, green, traditional pattypan squash, they die a miserable death, or I fail to get but one or two squashes.
Now this ONE dang green zuchinni I was given (it was a volunteer from last year's crop), is growing like a weed. I get enough every couple of days to eat (for three of us)--and that is picking them hand-length! AND I have not watered the thing in weeks and it has been HOT down here!
I love pattypan squash. I cook 1/2 inch slices just till they are first starting to turn translucent, then quickly drain and let them set for 5-10 minutes to cook on their own retained heat. A tiny bit of butter and some salt and pepper and I eat 'em up.
