Re: I have a ton of zucchini

i have a recipe which i will post later...but i just wanted to add that i still don't have any!! and one of my plants is done!!!!!!!! so i am very jealous!!LOL!!

Re: I have a ton of zucchini

i know you said you have fried them already but im sure they were breaded or floured when you did it.
my mom did something a little different.

my mom would simply slice the zuchini and fry them as is in a pan with olive oil. then when she was done she would mix it with chopped garlic and fresh mint and a little red wine vinegar.
they would come out sooooo good!!

Re: I have a ton of zucchini

Slice it thin and use the slices as the "noodles" in a lasagna. This is a great low-carb recipe

Re: I have a ton of zucchini

this is from the NYTimes a while back (I think '05)- i make it a lot in the summer:

Ingredients

salt and pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3-4 small zucchini or 3 medium zucchini, about 1 pound, rinsed and cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch dice
1 teaspoon minced garlic (or more)
1 lb penne or other cut pasta
1 cup good ricotta cheese
1 cup basil leaves, washed, dried and torn
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions
1Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; when hot add zucchini, along with a large pinch of salt and a sprinkling of pepper.

2Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini begins to brown, then lower heat and cook until it is quite tender, about 15 minutes total. About 5 minutes before it is done, stir in garlic and begin to cook pasta.

3While pasta cooks, warm a serving bowl and put ricotta in it, along with about half the basil. When pasta is tender but not mushy, remove and drain it, reserving about a cup of its cooking liquid.

4Use as much of this liquid as necessary, a bit at a time, to thin ricotta until it reaches a saucy consistency. Toss with pasta, zucchini, remaining basil and Parmesan, if you are using it, then taste and adjust seasoning. Serve.
