Instructions

Bring a medium to large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add one teaspoon of salt.
Add yellow squash and cauliflower and boil gently for ten minutes. Drain and place back into the pot. Puree cooked squash and cauliflower with an emersion blender until pureed.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large sauté pan, heat the 6 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium high. Once melted, add onions and red pepper flakes and sauté for two minutes. Add garlic and zucchini and sauté just long enough to take the crunch out of the zucchini. (No more than three minutes).
Add this to the pureed vegetables.

Pour into a 2½ quart baking dish.
Mix the Panko with the melted butter and sprinkle over the top of the casserole.

Serve immediately.
