Summer squash baked with cheese
Summer squash is not a very popular vegetable these days. I may be wrong, but only a handful of people use it in the kitchen.
My mother used to marinate summer squash in vinegar when I was still a child. In the winter period it served as a delicious addition to many dishes.
I found a great specimen of summer squash in the garden today and decided to bake it in the oven.
It turned out to be great. I served it for dinner with toasted baguette.
