Sauteed Patty Pan Squash Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Sauteed Patty Pan Squash Recipe). 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. However, if you can't find them, any summer squash will do. I also have made this recipe using yellow squash and zucchini and it was quite delicious. The freshness of the ingredients scream “summer”.
