No, patty pan squash and zucchini are not the same, though they are both types of summer squash. Patty pan squash is typically round or scalloped with a flattened shape, while zucchini is long and cylindrical. They belong to the same species, Cucurbita pepo, but they have different appearances and flavors. Both can be used in similar recipes, but their unique textures and shapes can influence the dish's presentation.
I think you mean patty pan squash. Pattypan squash is a quick growing summer squash variety with a slightly nutty taste. In terms of their delicacy, they are more like zucchini, straight neck or crook neck squash -- they certainly aren't as hardy as acorn or spaghetti squash. You can steam, poach or saute them, much like zucchini.
