I learned to cook when I was growing up on a dairy farm and was a member of 4-H. This is one of my favorite recipesit makes good use of the abundance of squash we always seem to have in summer and fall. You'll also find it freezes well.Marilyn Stroud, Larsen, Wisconsin Ingredients:

1 can (28 ounces) spaghetti sauce |
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |

2 cups (16 ounces) small-curd cottage cheese or ricotta cheese |
2 eggs, beaten |
2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips |
4 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 small unpeeled yellow squash, shredded |
