ZUCCHINI SAUTE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes, or until fragrant; don't let it brown. Add the squash, salt and pepper and cook until the squash is tender but still slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the squash to a serving dish and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.

ZUCCHINI AGRODOLCE

Steps:

• Working in batches, cook 3 sliced zucchini in 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet until golden, 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter; season with salt. Discard all but 1 tablespoon oil from the skillet; add 3 crushed garlic cloves and cook until sizzling. Add 1/2 cup white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook until syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 1 small minced Fresno chile. Pour over the zucchini. Top with toasted pine nuts and chopped mint.

ROASTED ZUCCHINI WITH GARLICKY BREAD CRUMBS AND MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Brush a rimmed sheet pan with olive oil, then lay the zucchini out in an even layer. Brush zucchini with more oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
• Broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and broil until golden in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss together bread crumbs, Parmesan, anchovies, garlic, herbes de Provence or oregano, red-pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 2 tablespoons oil and use your fingers to rub oil, garlic and anchovies into the crumbs.
• When zucchini is browned on both sides, turn off broiler and set oven to 500 degrees. Sprinkle zucchini with mozzarella, then bread crumb mixture; generously drizzle with oil. Bake until cheese melts and bread crumbs turn golden, about 4 minutes.
• Grind black pepper over top and drizzle with more oil, if needed. Top zucchini with olives, basil and additional red-pepper flakes, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

• Transfer cooked vegetables to an oven-safe serving dish and set in a warmed oven.
• Over medium heat, melt butter in a small skillet; stir in the walnuts and basil and cook for 3 minutes then set aside.
• Over medium high heat in a saute pan, heat the cream until steaming, then stir in the Gorgonzola cheese until it melts; add the nutmeg, salt, pepper, and the walnut basil mixture.
• Retrieve cooked vegetables on serving plate from warming oven and pour the walnut gorgonzola sauce over.
