SquashFrom blogger Sue Waltemath:
This is the time of year when your neighbor gifts you with a zucchini the size of a small suitcase. What to do? Zucchini bread and cake are yummy but can add to that waist line. Here are a couple of other ideas for using up extra produce.
Vegetable Lasagna
Slice the large zucchini lenghwise into thing, long strips. Use these strips in place of lasanga noodles. Follow your favorite recipe for lasagna. Yummy.
Whole Wheat Veggie Lasagna
Cook one pound ofwhole wheat lasagna noodles following package directions.
Mix two pounds of low fat ricotta cheese with fresh parsley/basil/green onions to taste.
Saute about two pounds of squash cut into large cubes in olive oil. Add onions, peppers and/or garlic to taste. Cook vegetables til tender/crisp. Stir in one large jar of your favorite meatless spagetti sauce.
Layer lasagna, ricotta and veggies in a lasagna pan. Top with 8oz of motzarella cheese and bake at 350 degrees about one hour or until heated thru. If you wish, place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the casserole to protect the cheese from burning.
