    this is for the lasagna post- did she cook the zucchini first-or just put it in strips in layers then bake?

    From what I remember, she broiled the zucchini strips first to remove some of the moisture then salted it to remove more. It was a little wet, but it worked so well together.

    I often use zucchini/courgette instead of noodles in stir fries. I have a julienne cutter which makes 'strings' out of the courgette which are a very good replacement for noodles. Hubby didn't even notice the lack of noodles the first time I did it!

    For all of you zucchini growers who don't know what to do with it all, I bake flourless zucchini brownies that are TO DIE FOR. Here's the recipe (this blogger posts recipes all the time, and all that I've tried have been amazing!):

    I've seen this recipe around Pinterest and had been dying to try it,and it turned out great!

    A 150g portion of pasta might have 300-400 plus calories where as 150g of zuchinni only has 24! It's also really good at taking on and absorbing all the other flavors!

    Basic zuchinni 'pasta' recipe!

    150g zuchinni (I found this was enought for a medium bowl/average portion)

    1 tbsp oil ( I used spray oil to reduce calories,adjust accordingly)

    Any flavorings garlic/ginger/salt etc... (I used ginger puree,yum!)

    1.Heat oil in a large pan over a medium heat.Add any flavorings.garlic to the pan and then the zuchinni,stir fry until golden and crispy (about 3 minutes)

    2.Remove from heat and add topping of your choosing (marinara sauce/chicken etc...)

    I made a kind of carbonara by adding in some mushrooms,ham and stirred in some fage 0% which made it really creamy!!

    I can't rave about this enough! I'm a pasta fiend and after eating a bowl of this I feel really full :)

    definitely worth a try!
