Chef's Note
Pattypan squash can be stuffed in all sorts of ways, using recipes for stuffed peppers. The filling is usually meat-based, as in this version, or may use leftover fish or shrimp.

They can be served on their own, with a fresh tomato sauce, or a bechamel sauce, depending on the ingredients of the stuffing.
