Any dinner ideas with zucchini in it? Like a pasta dish.?

Answer 1

One of my favorites.

1 - 2 sliced zucchini

A few additional assorted veggies, these are my favorites...
a handful of fresh green beans
a couple of broccoli spears cut into small pieces
a sliced carrot

1 can of diced tomatoes (drained)

Balsamic vinegar (optional)
Herbed feta cheese (regular feta without the herbs will work as well).

Saute the vegetables in olive oil. Be sure to put the ones that take longer to cook in first. When done, reduce heat and put in the can of diced tomatoes. Blend until warmed through. Remove from heat and add a splash of Balsamic vinegar (optional). Plate and sprinkle the herbed feta cheese over the top.

Yum!

Answer 2

I won $100 in a recipe contest for the simplest thing in the universe... crockpot meatballs.

You just layer frozen meatballs, cut up zucchini and fresh mushrooms in a crockpot... then dump jar sauce over the whole thing... rinse the jar with a little Italian red wine... let it cook all day. Serve over cooked pasta and pass shredded parmesan cheese.

Same recipe can be done in oven at 350 for about 1 1/2 hours or on top of stove by simmering on low for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

I've been known to just cook the zucchini and mushrooms and some yellow squash in the jar sauce too... because I'm not much of a meat eater. You can also substitute chicken :)

another zucchini recipe without the pasta or can use buttered pasta as a side dish:

I saute zucchini all the time, mixed with other vegetables (usually mushrooms, baby corn, peppers, onions). It's great with just the vegetables or added to chicken or pasta. Quick and healthy.

Answer 10

Made a sausage tortellini soup last night with sausage, tortellini, stewed tomoatoes, onions, and zuchini.


With other meals, throw some zuchini, onions, and corn in a pan and heat until softened. Then top with graded cheese. Yum.
