Ingredients
2-3medium yellow squash sliced into 1/4 inch slices and cut in half circles
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or olive oil.
Remove the ends of the squash and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline, then cut each round in half to form half-circles.
Melt the butter in an oven-safe pan over medium heat. Then add the onions and garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, water, and let it simmer for approximately 2 minutes or until it starts to thicken.
Add the Parmesan cheese, mixing until well combined and cheese is melted. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and paprika, according to your taste.
Arrange the yellow squash slices in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the squash. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the squash is fork tender and the cheese is golden brown. Once done, you may allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
