Patty Pan Squash - Growing the Flying Saucer Shaped Patty Pan Squash. Overview and Description of Patty Pan Squash : You might not guess by its looks, but patty pan, or scallop, squash is a tender summer squash, like zucchini or yellow squash. The scalloped flying saucer shape makes them a bit of a novelty and a little difficult to figure out how to slice, but they cook and eat much like any other summer squash.
It has a hard thick shell and seeds. The deep yellow to orange flesh is firmer than that of summer squash and therefore requires longer cooking. The most common varieties of winter squash include Acorn, Butternut, Hubbard, Spaghetti and Turban. Acorn squash is small, dark green, acorn shaped with deep ridges. Butternut is bell or gourd shaped with smooth, thin light beige to orange skin that is easy to peel.
