• Turn off heat, add cheese and crushed saltines to white sauce and stir.
• Scoop out the middle of each pattipan to make little "bowls". (I use my grapefruit knife.) Turn the pattipans over on a plate (so the juices drain out) and set aside.

• Fill squash with the sauce, pouring the excess over the top.
