linda's cucuzza squash with chicken and pepperoni
(1 RATING)
I recently discovered Cucuzza squash at our local farm store. It looks like a pale green baseball bat. About the same size. Cucuzza is an Italian squash, now being grown commercially in Louisiana. It must be peeled and seeded. If you cannot get cucuzza you might substitute zucchini. Cucuzza has a mild flavor but a firmer flesh than zucchini.
