TIPS - OPO SQUASH: Thin, pale yellow-green squash with smooth skin. Similar to

large zucchini except for color. Use like squash. Eat flesh only.

 

[aka: Cucuzza Squash is a pale green squash of Italian origin will grow up to 3

feet long. When harvested in shorter lengths, it can look like a bowling pin in

shape and may be referred to as a bottle gourd or Opo in Asian markets. It has a

very mild flavor, similar to zucchini. Usage: Peel and slice squash. If seeds

are tender, prepare as you would zucchini, if not, remove seeds before cooking.

Cucuzza can be cooked with other vegetables, added to soups, breaded and fried,

or steamed and topped with a meat and rice stuffing and melted cheese. ref:
