You can make it into noodles with a julienne peeler or spiraliser and use in place of spaghetti/noodles
I chop it up and add to stir fry, pasta sauce, risotto, stew, casserole anything really.
Or cut length ways, scoop out seeds and fill with couscous or something and bake for stuffed.0 -
Zucchini-Feta Pancakes. A classic.
Chocolate zucchini bread
Zucchini-Pecan Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
My Bon Appetit cookbook has a chocolate zucchini cake recipe which I do not see on the website but you can probably just add 1.5 cups of grated zucchini to any regular chocolate cake recipe. Bake when I baked from boxes, I added it to boxed cake mix. The cake will be moist and yummy and no one will know it contains a vegetable

You can also exclude ingredients in their search, so if you were looking for something savory, exclude baking ingredients like baking soda.0 -
ps - when my garden explodes with zucchini, I put it in everything - eggs, stir fries, you name it. I give it away to friends and family, and if all else fails, give it away on freecycle.0

Zucchini and Shrimp Stir-Fry RecipeServes 2-3 | Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Cook Time: 5 Minutes
Ingredients:1 1/2 tablespoons oil
8 oz shelled and deveined shrimp or chicken breast (cut into pieces)
1 zucchini, about 8 oz, cut into rounds and then quarters
3-4 button mushrooms, cut into pieces
3-4 baby carrots, sliced
5-6 slices peeled ginger
Brown Sauce:
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
5 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Pinch of salt, or to taste
Method: Mix all the ingredients in the Brown Sauce, stir well and set aside.
Heat up your pan/skillet/wok and add the oil. When the oil is heated, add the ginger and stir-fry until aromatic, follow by the shrimp. Stir-fry the shrimp until the surface turns opaque, then add in the zucchini, carrots, and mushrooms.
Toss and stir-fry for about 30 seconds.
Add the Brown Sauce (stir right before using), stir to combine well with the ingredients. Once the sauce thickens, dish out and serve immediately with steamed rice.
Cook’s Note: If you don’t have Sesame Oil, it’s OK to skip. Oyster Sauce is a must when it comes to Chinese or Asian stir-fry.
This is a family favorite0 -

Didn't have room for zucchini last yr, but am so happy I'm starting to get some this year. Already made the brownies twice, they're amazing!0 -
I LOVE grilled zucchini--just made kebabs and used chicken, zucchini, bell pepper, sweet onion. Sometimes I throw baby potatoes on there too. Delicious and fairly healthy.
Also works well in stir fries, baked/roasted, raw in salads or as zoodles, and of course my favorite: zucchini bread.0 -
We enjoy using it in place of noodles or stuffing it with all kinds of things.0

All of these that I have tried have been good:

I LOVE ZUCCHINI! It's my most favorite vegetable! LOL. I put it in everything and anything - pasta sauce, stir-fry, omelettes, fried rice... I also love it just sauteed with a bit of garlic...0

I use google translator and look for zucchini recipes in Italian. It is a staple in their dishes.
The last recipe I have done was zucchini and cheese in the oven.0 -
this is the recipe I have mentioned above
http://blog.giallozafferano.it/langolodicristina/frittelle-di-zucchine-al-forno/
giallozafferano is a website that I have always used for Italian food. they (giallo) are also promoting other culinary blogs and websites, so for me it is an almost all in one.
you can also look for ratatouille - french dish that among other ingredients has zucchini.
another option is cut zucchini lengthwise, scoop out the middle and leave the shell like a boat. fill it with grounded meat. I will leave the "pick a meat" to your taste and imagination. the middle can be cubed and used in a soup.0 -
http://ericasrecipes.com/2014/06/zucchini-spaghetti-with-lemony-kale-pesto/
I made this last night (she mixes half zucchini noodles and spaghetti, but I did all zucchini). I just got a julienne peeler and was excited to come close to spiralizing something, lol. It was very good and I have some extra pesto leftover to use for another meal.0 -
I've really enjoyed these (similar) frittata recipes featuring zucchini as one of the components!

http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/02/caramelized-onion-red-pepper-and.html
I also really like this Mexican flavored side dish.. I usually pair it with some kind of shredded chicken cooked in a salsa verde or salsa sauce:

Can you tell I am a fan of the website Skinnytaste?!
ETA: I got this email today and found the idea of zucchini "meat"balls to be interesting.. though I have not tried it yet!

Zucchini turkey burgers!! Great to make a few and freeze a few between freezer paper. Such a good back up meal so I can just pull one out of the freezer and stick it on a pan with some pam.

I've made these baked parmesan zucchini rounds multiple times the past couple weeks. SO easy and they taste amazing. Slice zucchini, top with parmesan cheese, put in the oven. Can't beat that!
