Pasta and courgettes
Pasta and zucchini form a timeless pair for good reason; they instantly add a Southern flair to your pasta dish.

Simple and fast to make, potentially including additional veggies as well.
Stuffed courgettes
Stuffed zucchini are exceptionally tasty! You can use up all your leftover ingredients in them: ground meat, chopped chicken, rice, Parmesan, and more.
Quiche or vegetable cake
For a more celebratory touch, include the courgettes in a quiche or veggie loaf.
Add them to your brownie mixture (you heard that right!).

Do you have any leftover courgettes? If so, freeze them. It’s best to freeze them with their skin intact to maintain their flavor. You don’t need to blanch them first.
