This is a great saute: Zucchini, yellow squash, onions, jalapenos, sliced Italian hot sausage. It's even good on a hero with hot sauce, just don't slice the sausage.
Slice the zuchs lengthwise, brush with olive oil and grill them. Season when they come off.
Dice zuchs and saute' in butter and garlic, deglaze with white wine, add a splash of cream, bring to a simmer and then add fresh grated parmigian or asiago cheese. Season to taste and pair it with pasta.
Dredge the long slices in seasoned flour, egg wash and then fry. Take a small baking dish, spray with PAM, add marinara sauce, then fried zuchs, more marinara, zuchs etc. Top with mozzarella and bake @400 until golden brown.
Add julienned zuchs to any stirfry, stew or gumbo.
Slice into rounds, brush with olive oil and season, top with proscuitto and mozzarella, place on a cookie sheet and into the broiler.
Dice the zuchs, onions, tomato's and mushrooms and garlic. Saute' and deglaze with white wine and add a tomato sauce. Season to taste for a nice ratattatoille.
Cut zuchs in half, hollow out like a canoe. Stuff them with sausage, mushrooms, onions, garlic, tomato sauce etc. top with fresh grated parmigian and bake.
Dice zuchs and saute and add to any pasta dish.
Blanch thin slices in boiling water. Cool in ice water, then place on cookie rack after patting off excess water. Brush a TINY bit of olive oil on and then season with garlic powder and seasalt. Place in dehydrator.

If you like them fried, my mother's recipe is simple but AMAZING!
Slice zukes thinly into medallions
Place 3-4 zukes worth of slices into a large bowl and toss with 1 whole egg until all are coated, then toss in enough flour to make a wet batter-ish coating. Should be pretty sticky stuff. Fry over medium heat in enough vegetable oil to float them, flipping once until golden brown. Salt and season to taste while still hot outta tha fryer.
Very simple, but the method of dredging leaves you with nice crispy bits all around!
