Ingredients:

  • 2 medium yellow summer squash, halved lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 4 tablespoons fine bread crumbs, divided
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Remove pulp from squash, leaving 1/4-inch thick shells. Chop pulp and reserve.

Cook shells gently in hot oil in a covered skillet over medium-low heat. Turn shells once, cooking about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until just tender. Transfer to a rack, cool and pat dry with a paper towel.

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons butter to oil in skillet. Add squash pulp and onion. Cook until onion is tender.

Stir in pepperoni, 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons bread crumbs, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

Fill shells with squash mixture.

Mix remaining Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Sprinkle over squash. Dot with remaining butter.

Broil squash 4 inches from heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serves 4.

"Seeds are edible, so it's not necessary to remove them. Just chop them up with the pulp. I used French fried onions, since my daughter doesn't like onions. Pepperoni has plenty of salt, so you don't need to add more. No one told me to throw the recipe out, so this one's a keeper."
