Now I have all these huge Zucchini's.What a deal I got. Don't know which recipe to make, It was first for Zucchini Lasagna. Googling it  so many variations. This will be my first time making it with the Slices being totally different than the simple way I use to make zucchini on George forman grill. Please share with me your favorite Zucchini recipe for this time of season. summer tastes? I am not in the mood for Mexican taste right now,I do want a little different taste than original Lasagna. Thanks. Wendy

Ratatouille (hot or cold.) Or this summer spaghetti salad. I make it with any kind of pasta and throw in whatever veggies look good at the store: peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, what have you. I also like green olives thrown in.

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound spaghetti, broken into

pieces

1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style

salad dressing

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan

cheese

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

2 teaspoons seasoning salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground black

pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cucumber, chopped

1 red onion, diced

2 tomatoes, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

 

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well. Transfer to large bowl.

 

In medium bowl, whisk together salad dressing, cheese, seeds, salt, paprika, garlic powder and peppers until well blended. Stir in cucumber and onion. Pour mixture over spaghetti and toss lightly to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

You can do a simple parmesan with canned tomatoes and cheese, baked.

You can do a mock applesauce.

Slice and fry it.

Possibilities are endless.

I just found six "pick me now" sized zucchini and yellow squash in my garden, and there are so many more only days behind. I'm going to eat tons of stir fry with mostly zuchs, and some of whatever else like kohlrabi and fennel root, and just season it as I go with maybe flavored oils, vinegars and balsamic. 

Also going to try Bette's suggestion of ratatouille, as I've never made that before.

Zucchini fries are delicious. I think I found the recipe on Pintrest.

Ive used mine before to make tuna casserole, without the noodles...Clean and shred zucchini, or can cut into cubes...add some cream of mushroom soup ( 1-2 cans, depending on how much zucchini you use) with 1/2 can of 1 % milk per can used...you can add diced onions, peas, 2 T. of lowfat sour cream...dash of salt & pepper...2 cans of water packed tuna (no need to drain)...Handful of colby jack cheese ( optional )...mix together and place into baking dish...Take about 12 triscut crackers or bread crumbs, and crush leaving chunks of crackers...Add a couple T. of melted lite margarine, or the I can't believe its not butter spray...small handful of cheese ( optional )...stir and sprinkle on top of casserole...Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes, give or take, or until bubbly and light brown on top.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.
