ZUCCHINI PASTA BAKE
The crunchy Parmesan on top and the gooey melted mozzarella mixed throughout make this baked pasta dish a real treat! It's great at the height of summer when the tomatoes and zucchini come straight from the garden!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta, cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until al dente, and drain. Lightly grease a medium casserole dish.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a blender or food processor, thoroughly mix the Parmesan cheese and crackers.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the onion in the skillet, and cook and stir until tender. Mix in the zucchini, tomato, and garlic, and season with oregano, basil, celery, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook and stir until the zucchini is tender.
- In the prepared casserole dish, mix the pasta with the vegetable mixture and mozzarella cheese. Top evenly with the Parmesan cheese mixture.
- Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the topping is lightly browned. Allow to sit 5 minutes before serving.

COURGETTE AND PASTA BAKE
Taken from the BBC Good Food Easy Italian booklet July 2008. I used this recipe whilst we were caravaning in the South of France with limited utensils and space and it worked wonderfully. My 3 yr old (who's recently become a fussy eater) loved it and it has quickly become a family favourite. You can alter the amounts for each ingredient to suit as the original recipe doesn't actually specify amounts and this is just how I did it. I also added some grated cheddar to the topping just because we all love cheese.

ZUCCHINI PASTA BAKE
My husband is a gardener in our family, and I love to create new recipes with produce. I developed this dish during an especially bountiful zucchini harvest.
