I have made this recipe for years but I add a cup of shredded cheese, what ever is your choose, I like sharp cheddar. Sometimes I use two kinds of squash if I don’t have enough yellow
Should I squeeze the grated squash like I would with zucchini, or is that not necessary?
I don’t with the yellow squash but if yours seems watery I would squeeze it.
