This is the time of year to find innovative ideas to use the over abundance of summer squash. Here’s just one of the many ways to put that summer delight to use.
1 cup flour
1 egg
½ cup beer
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
2 cups marinara sauce
¾ cup parmesan cheese
Oil for frying
Wash summer squash and cut into ¾ inch rounds.
Combine flour, beer, egg and Italian seasoning in medium bowl and mix well. Dip squash in batter and coat well.
Heat oil in cast iron fry pan to 375º; cook battered squash 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Pour half of sauce in greased casserole dish. Layer squash in dish and top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake in 375º oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and parmesan cheese is lightly browned. Serve with a side of pasta.
