• Slice the squashes into lengthwise quarters, then slice crosswise. Place the squashes and carrots in a saucepan, cover with water, and salt well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are very soft.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, melt 3 TB of the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion and cook slowly until very tender and translucent, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so. Place the mixture into a mixing bowl.
• Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and return it to medium-low heat. Add the remaining tablespoon butter; melt. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs and cook for a minute or so, until crumbs are golden brown. Put them on a small plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• Now drain the squash mixture. Mash vegetables slightly with a fork or potato masher. Spoon the squash into the mixing bowl with the onions. Stir in the rest of the uncooked cracker crumbs, the cheese and a dash or two of Tabasco. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the eggs and spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter the toasted crumbs over the top.

SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• For the leek crema: Using only the lower third of the leek, remove the root, cut lengthwise down, then dice. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook, steaming the leeks until very tender, about 5 minutes.
• While the leeks are steaming, slice the squash lengthwise to ¼-inch thick slices on a mandoline or with a knife, and set aside. Finish the leek crema by adding salt, then cream, and warm through.
• For the squash casserole: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9" x 9" or 8" x 10" casserole dish with the butter by rubbing it as if you were waxing a car. Arrange the squash in a single layer in the dish. It's all right if you shingle and overlap edges minimally. This is a six-layer casserole, so allocate the ingredients accordingly. Evenly coat the first level of squash with a ladle of crema, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, a bit of thyme, a sixth of the breadcrumbs, and a sixth of the Parmigiano. Repeat these steps 5 more times, then cover the casserole with a fitted lid or foil. Bake covered for 35 minutes, then uncovered for 10 more minutes or until the top becomes nice and golden brown.
• Remove casserole from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
