- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

- Pour the squash mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover the top with the finely crushed butter crackers and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese. Drizzle over 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Bake the casserole covered for 35 minutes, then remove the cover and continue baking for another 5-7 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
