Rarely can you find patty pan (aka scalloped) squash in the grocery store. However, many farmers markets have them. In Texas, it seems that every farmers market is overflowing with squash come June.

The freshness of the ingredients scream "summer".

This is an extremely easy and fast side dish. It is even good served over pasta.
