Answer 2

Pattie pan squash?  A kind of summer squash?  You might try any method of cooking a summer squash.

How about slicing it into chunks or slices, throwing on a little olive oil, and grilling it?  It is great as slices on a sandwich.  

You can cut it into small pieces, cook until tender, and add to your favorite pasta sauce for any kind of pasta.

How about adding it to a vegetable soup?  Diced and added toward the end of cooking so that it does not disappear into mushy bits?

It is great that you are trying something new!
