OMG. I just tried this yesterday and it was BRILLIANT.
Zucchini pasta! It's ribbons of zucchini that, when boiled for 2-3 minutes, take on the exact consistency and firmness of pasta and taste great with any pasta sauce / pesto. And, the best part, it has less than 40 calories per serving!! I LOVE it. I am never eating pasta again ^_^
Word of advice when trying it out : don't compare it to pasta itself, okay? if in your head you're just like 'UGH this is too healthy, nothing like my delicious carbs', then you're not going to like it. So enter with an open mind, and you will leave satisfied

Zucchini bread - freezes great (allrecipes.com...search for "mom's zucchini bread")
Sliced & grilled with a little bit of olive oil, salt & pepper and red pepper flakes is delicious
Again..on allrecipes.com - "zucchini patties" are fantastic!
Here's another recipe that tastes like apple crisp (w/no apples). It makes a ton and isn't really diet friendly, but if you have a party to go to, its a great dessert to bring.
Faux Apple (Zucchini) Sheet Pie:
6-8 CUPS ZUCCHINI (peeled & chopped)
2/3 cup lemon juice
cook until tender
ADD;
1 cup sugar
½ t. cinnamon
¼ t. nutmeg
simmer and add ½ cup crust mixture to thicken
CRUST
4 cups flour
2 cups sugar
½ t. salt
l ½ c. margarine
Combine dry ingredients and cut in margarine until crumbly.
Spread ½ crust mixture on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375* for 10 minutes. Pour filling on top of hot crust and crumble remaining crust over top. Bake 30 min. Cut into squares.
EDIT...for the record, I didn't realize this wasn't under "recipes" when I posted this, but I'll leave the receipes up anyway :laugh:0 -
Is this a serious question?0

I made this just like http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/07/sausage-stuffed-zucchini-boats.html
but used tuna flakes instead and to mellow smell down added homemade pesto. Even my 5 yr old twins love them. They call them pizza boat. Works for me.0 -
Found this receipe a couple of days ago on here and it sounds amazing!!!
Zucchini, include skin, raw, 1 cup, chopped
Onions - Raw, 1/4 cup, chopped
Parmesean Cheese Grated - 1/4 cup
Panko Bread Crumbs- 1/4 cup
Eggs - Whole, raw, 1 large
I put the onion and zucchini in the food processor so it's finely chopped. Mix everything together. Spoon by the teaspoonful into mini muffin tin (GREASED) Pat down with back of spoon. 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until you notice them getting a beautiful brown crust on the edges. Makes 12 tots per tin.
This sounds delish. Can't wait to make it.0 -
i ❤ zucchini
the only problem that when you get very large zucchini, the seeds tend to be very large. i like to buy smaller, baby zucchinis
however- having large zucchini isn't a bad thing, my number 1 suggestion would be to make zucchini pasta
take a vegetable peeler, and peel long flat strips making your way around the zucchini until reaching the large seeds, blanch quickly in boiling water and top with pasta sauce! it's light and low carb & low calorie!!!

Cut zucchini into big chunks, also chunk up some yellow squash, onions (whatever color you like), and tomato. Drizzle a little EVOO into a big saute pan, saute veggies with generous amounts of garlic, parsley, pepper, and sweet basil. Cook until you start to get a little brown on your veggies. Then eat a big helping. It's delicious, filling, and healthy.0

I make this ALL of the time in big batches. I dont let them brown and use the juice of a can of diced tomatoes. I will add
on spaghetti squash - SO AMAZING and healthy
Especially topped with a sprinkle or two of parm cheese & red pepper flakes
OH YEAH BABY0 -
Use zucchini instead of lasagna noodles! Slice them thinly, put in a colander in the sink, sprinkle with salt and let the salt remove the water - after a half hour or so, when the water beads on them, rinse off the salt and quickly dry them. Use them just like lasagna noodles - I like using Yves Veggie Ground Round instead of hamburger and lost of extra veggies and pasta sauce. Best veggie lasagna ever!.0

I love to sautee zucchini with onions, and yellow squash. And sometimes I add an assortment of peppers (bell, banana, orange, and red) with a teaspoon or two of soy sauce.0
