I LOVE zucchini!!! As a side dish, we make it by cooking it until slightly tender, and topping it with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits

I have heard of people making lasagna out of large zucchinis. Also, I will shred it and “hide” it (I say that loosely because my kids always know) in sausage rigatoni bake. Your cavatini would be a good place for it.

Vegetable Manicotti and Tuesday’s main dish and side on my menu uses zucchini. These were all good and a success in our house!
We also throw it is stir fry and it just takes the flavor of everything else.

I know we had a zucchini abundance this year also, so I was slipping zucchini in everything, from pasta, to soups etc. Hope you guys enjoy the Zucchini Quesadillas

Here is a link for Corn-Breaded Zucchini. My made this for us when we were growing up. When I made it last week I used squash and it was equally delicious. Hope you like it. http://savinitup.blogspot.com/2009/07/corn-breaded-zucchini.html

Southern Living’s Vegetable Bacon Noodle Toss is one of my favorite way to use up garden veggies. We eat it hot or cold.
