Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 lbs squash (half yellow
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup long- grain white rice
1/4 cup olive oil
3 medium leeks, white and light green part only, finely chopped (about 3 cups)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh italian parsley
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

Using a food processor fitted with shredder blade, shred the yellow squash and green zucchini.
Place in a colander and add salt, mixing until well distributed; place colander over a bowl and let drain for 15-30 minutes, capturing the juices in the bowl.
Wrap the shredded squash/zucchini in a clean dish towel and wring over the bowl to collect any additional juices; set the juices aside and dry the squash well with a dry towel.
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil; add in the rice, adjust the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes; drain and reserve.
Preheat oven to 425°.
In an 11-inch ovenproof pan or skillet over med-high heat, warm 3 tablespoons oil; add in leeks and saute until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the squash/zucchini; saute until almost tender, about 3 minutes.
Add in the garlic and parsley; saute for 1 minute.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the half-and-half and the squash liquid; return to medium heat and continue to cook, stirring constantly until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
Add in rice and all but 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese; mix well.
Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Bake until browned and bubbling and the rice has absorbed the liquid, about 25 minutes; serve immediately.
