I find this method works best with butternut squash but I see no reason why you could not try it with your yellow squash. This is a simple recipe as far as ingredients go but requires a bit of effort.
Cook your squash as usual and mash up like you would mashed potatoes with milk, butter, salt and pepper. To this mixture add about 2 palm-full's of Parmesan cheese and 1 egg. At this point you can make your own pasta and create homemade ravioli. These are well worth the effort and go very well with either a cream sauce or just melted butter and more parm cheese.
The easier way would be to buy a box of shells, manicotti, or lasagna noodles. Stuff the shells or manicotti OR make a lasagna with the squash mixture, mozzarella cheese, and cream sauce.
