Here's a different treatment for zucchini that's a favorite in our home. Even though the creamy Parmesan sauce is homemade, the recipe's cooking time is short. Ingredients:
4 medium zucchini, julienned |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic |
2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, cubed |
1 cup half-and-half cream |
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
dash ground nutmeg |
shredded swiss cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute zucchini in oil for 3-5 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain; remove zucchini mixture with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
2. In the same skillet, combine cream cheese and cream; cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
3. Return zucchini mixture to the pan. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer or until heated through. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, nutmeg and Swiss cheese. Yield: 6 servings.
