Squash Dish with Phyllo?

[axariotisxy]

My mother used to make this squash dish around this time of year that involved phyllo, but I can't remember what it is called! I lost my mother's recipes and miss her cooking so much, I am trying to recreate some of my childhood favorites. She used to sometimes use zucchini, other times she'd use butternut squash. It was kind of sweet but not sweet like a dessert. Just enough sweetness.

My mom's friend from Samos used to make this. She called it kolokythopita - I think she just used butternut squash in place of zucchini.

It's called kolokythopita

Kolokythi is the word for squash and zucchini

Oh that's right! That rings a bell. Does anyone have a recipe to share? All I am finding are recipes online with zucchini. Thank you!

What do you think of this recipe? Does it ring a bell? My family tends to make it a savory dish but I bet you could add sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon and make it a sweet dessert, too:
