CUCUZZA CREAM PIE
I've been searching for recipes to use up my abundance of cucuzza squash from my garden. There aren't many recipes out there using this unique squash. A cucuzza is a long green Italian squash with a bit of a nutty flavor. I adapted this recipe from a recipe in a Taste of Home Magazine called "Butternut Cream Pie". I changed it up a bit and I think it tastes similar to a pumpkin cream pie.

CUCUZZA STEW
This was my mother's and grandmother's recipe for using Cucuzza. It contains no meat but I sometimes add good Italian Sausages. Another good addition is wide green beans. This will serve 4 or 2 hungry Italians!
