SAUTEED ZUCCHINI
This is a really easy recipe that tastes great. Fresh veggies in a light sautee. You can add a cup of cooked pasta if you wish to give it more heft as a side dish. We always make too much pasta during the week so this is a great way to work through some of the leftovers.

SAUTéED ZUCCHINI WITH GRUYERE
Gruyere Swiss cheese adds a wonderful nutty sophistication to this simple dish. Gruyere is on the expensive side, but you don't end up needing as much because the flavor is more concentrated. You can substitute another Swiss cheese if you like. The trick to keeping the zucchini from getting soggy and overcooked, is to sauté it quickly in a rather hot pan.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large sauté pan on fairly high heat. (An anodized aluminum pan works well for this purpose because it is stick resistant yet can handle high heat.).
- Coat the bottom of the pan with the oil, adding more if needed.
- When the pan is hot, add the zucchini and onions.
- Spread out along the bottom of the pan.
- Cook quickly on high heat, stirring frequently, until all zucchini pieces are a little browned at least on one side (about 2 minutes).
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper while cooking.
- Halfway through the cooking, add the garlic and the herbs.
- If there is any sticking to the pan, add a little more oil.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Place slices of cheese over the zucchini in a single layer.
- Cover the pan. Let sit for a few minutes, until the cheese is just melted. Remove the zucchini to a serving dish. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a very large (12-inch) saute pan and cook the onions over low heat for 20 minutes, or until tender but not browned. Add the zucchini and cook, covered, for 10 minutes, or until tender. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg and cook uncovered for 5 more minutes. Stir in the flour. Add the hot milk and cook over low heat for a few minutes, until it makes a sauce. Pour the mixture into an 8 by 10-inch baking dish.
- Combine the bread crumbs and Gruyere and sprinkle on top of the zucchini mixture. Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter cut into small bits and bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and browned.
Tips:
- Choose smaller zucchinis, as they tend to be more tender and flavorful.
- Slice the zucchinis thinly and evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Heat the pan over medium-high heat before adding the zucchinis. This will help them sear and develop a nice golden brown color.
- Do not overcrowd the pan with zucchinis. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Stir the zucchinis frequently while cooking to prevent them from burning.
- Season the zucchinis with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the zucchinis are tender, remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Add the butter and flour to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is golden brown.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Add the cheese to the sauce and stir until melted.
- Pour the sauce over the zucchinis and serve immediately.
