I used half zucchini and half squash (because that's what I had...) and I was surprised at how almost sweet this dish was. Very delicious.

This is great!! I added some minced garlic and about 2Tbs.chopped onion to the mixture. I also added a crushed up chicken bouillon cube in the milk/flour mixture along with some black pepper.I used half whipping cream and half milk and I added some Monterey Jack Cheese on top with the parmensan cheese. We really enjoyed this very much! Thanks for sharing your recipe :)
