Zucchini is one of those vegetables…. It’s pretty easy to grow in your garden (except in ours one year). It means that summer is here, because it’s one of the first seasonal vegetables to be ready. And there is always too much of it. Those plants sure know how to make zucchini! (By the way, did you know that technically, zucchini is actually a fruit?)

Our zucchini plants have been a big bust this year. But somehow we have still ended up with lots of zucchini from friends and family. It just so happens that I also have this neat spiralizer attachment for my KitchenAid mixer, so I’ve been giving it a workout! The spiralizer attachment is easy to use, and it actually works better if you make it go a little bit faster. I just love seeing what fun things I can do with it!

I spiralized 2 medium zucchini and put them in the bottom of a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. You can also use a 9″x9″ baking pan. (Mine had blackberry cobbler in it.) Make up the meat sauce on the stove. I used ground beef, but you can use whatever ground meat you like. I also tossed in a bunch of fresh herbs from my herb garden (dried herbs from your pantry work just as well), and lots of garlic, of course. Top it with lots of cheese and pop it in the oven!

And since there is no actual pasta in this dish, you don’t have to feel guilty about eating some tasty homemade bread along with it!

Enjoy!
