I know it isn't in season in my area, but it was plentiful at the market this past weekend. The dinner I made was delicious! I sliced up the zucchini into approx. 1/2" slices. I then cut 6 of the slices into half-moons. I sauteed the zucchini in olive oil with 1 clove of chopped garlic. (Next time I might add some red pepper, roasted red pepper, or red pepper flakes for some extra flavor). I learned that they are done being cooked when the centers are slightly translucent--took 5-7 minutes I think. I added the zucchini, garlic, and a little of the olive oil from the pan to a bowl of rotini pasta* with some homemade pesto already mixed in. Combine and enjoy! I had a spring mix salad with tomatoes, red onion, and goat cheese on the side, making a great veggie meal!
*Thanks to Alicia for the saute and add to pasta idea!
