Slice in half, season and bake it....YUMMY!!

You can also slice it, freeze it and have fresh zucchini in the Winter

Chocolate zucchini bread!!! Yum.

Cut in half lengthwise, scoop out the middle a bit and save for muffins and such, stuff the halves with whatever goodness you'd like, top with a bit of cheese and bake. I've got a ton of zucchini from the garden this year and have been "prepping the boats" and freezing them to be stuffed with leftovers in the future

Large zucchini are sometimes tough, so I like to shred them and use them for baking. Here is also a recipe for black bean zucchini cakes with shredded zucchini. They are yummy.

Also check out skinnytaste.com for zucchini "boat" suggestions. The is one for zucchini stuffed with sausage and tomato sauce and baked. They look delicious.

Zucchini lasagna. Use them in place of noodles. It's so delicious. There's a recipe on skinnytaste, so if you're browsing the other recipes, check that one out too. I'm making it tomorrow for my anniversary dinner!

I make a zuchhini "boat" out of a half. Fill with cooked lean ground beef and mexi-spices. It turns into a fabulous quick winter meal.

zuccini = courgette in British English, right?

the big ones are called marrows in British English, and I think you don't cook them the same as courgettes.

Sorry to not be very helpful, my parents grew their own veg, including marrows and courgettes, and I remember that my mum cooked them differently. But I don't remember the details. If you google recipes for marrow you might find some more info. On British sites. No idea what marrow is in USA English.... Zuccini on steroids sounds good though :laugh:

Ratatouille! I don't miss pasta because of this dish: Rough chop and sauté eggplant and onion, then zucchini, and garlic, then add canned diced tomatoes and oregano.

horsetrainer46

sliced zucchini, summer squash, mushrooms, green peppers, Pomi diced tomatoes, 96% lean ground beef. Sautee with your favorite seasonings (I like basil, oregano, black pepper and a hint of garlic). I eat this all the time. low fat and yummy. Sometimes I add other fresh veggies too :-)
