STUFFED TATUME SQUASH
This is a spicy dish that resembles stuffed zucchini, except that you substitute Tatume squash for the zucchini. The subtle difference in flavor between the Tatume squash and zucchini makes for a unique and flavorful twist on stuffed zucchini. Hot chiles add more zip to the dish. A meal in itself!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Cut Tatume squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh in the center, leaving about 1/3 inch of the shell. Dice or chop the flesh in a food processor and transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add jalapeno pepper, serrano pepper, parsley, lemon-pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes; saute for 1 more minute. Add vegetables to diced squash.
- Add pork sausage and ground beef to the hot skillet; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add meat mixture to the vegetable-squash mixture. Mix in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper until the filling is well combined.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add diced tomatoes and red pepper sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
- Pour a ladleful of sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Fill one squash shell with the filling, making a large mound on top. Place in the baking dish and repeat with remaining squash and filling. Pour remaining sauce into the dish, and sprinkle the stuffed squash with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and bake until squash is fork-tender and cheese is lightly browned, about 10 more minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve.

RICK'S TATUMA SQUASH
I like all the summer squashes (yellow, zucchini, cucuzzi, etc.) and my family usually just tolerates them so when I decided to try tatumas I tried to find something to interest them. After reading different ways to fix them I came up with this combination. It was a big hit and they never complain when I fix it.

CHICKEN WITH TATUMA SQUASH ( POLLO CON CALABACITA )
After buying tatuma squash on a whim, I had to find a way to use it. Tatuma, or Mexican white squash, is native to Latin America. Similar to zucchini in shape, size and texture, Tatuma has a soft green skin with a slightly firm white flesh. If you can't find tatuma, zucchini or summer squash can be substituted. If using zucchini or summer squash, which cook faster than tatuma, add to the pan 5 minutes before the chicken is done.
