CHEESY ZUCCHINI WITH GARLIC-OREGANO STUFFING
A garlicky-cheesy vegetarian main dish or a side dish with a simple grilled entree and some ripe sliced tomatoes; I've made these for a long time now; I don't remember where the recipe came from. It also works perfectly using the little round French zucchinis. Just before serving, sprinkle with some minced fresh oregano for even more of an herby kick.

Bake, covered with foil, in a greased baking dish at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes; remove pan from oven and top zucchinis with cheddar cheese; return to oven, uncovered, for another 5 to 10 minutes or until zucchini is tender but not mushy and cheese is melted.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to pot.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add zucchini; sauté until tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Mix in garlic and oregano; remove from heat. Add zucchini mixture to pasta, adding reserved pasta cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls as needed to moisten. Add 1/2 cup cheese; stir until melted. Transfer to large bowl. Serve, passing additional cheese for sprinkling.
Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: Select firm, medium-sized zucchini with deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have bruises or blemishes.
- Slice the zucchini uniformly: This will ensure even cooking. Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the zucchini into thin, even slices.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the zucchini, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the zucchini from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Season the zucchini well: Garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper are classic seasonings for zucchini. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as basil, thyme, or rosemary.
- Cook the zucchini until tender-crisp: Zucchini should be cooked until tender-crisp, but not mushy. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
Conclusion:
Garlic oregano zucchini is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It's a great way to use up fresh zucchini from your garden, and it's also a healthy and flavorful way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Serve garlic oregano zucchini with grilled chicken, fish, or pasta, or simply enjoy it as a snack.
