      True, but you can substitute. We were dirt poor, and sometimes someone might give us some canned spaghetti sauce, but we had no pasta, so we'd make rice instead, or dried bread. The best dishes would be ones that could be adaptable.

    I learned a similar recipe in Italy. It starts with butter and olive oil to sauté onions and garlic. Then you add the zucchini for 20 min and the last few min add a handful of basil. Take off heat for 5 min and blend with a hand blender or like I do a reg blender.
    The texture of cooked zucchini that’s not over cooked is amazing, along with other ingredients. Dress with Parmesan.

If you haven’t made cheese ravioli or cheese and spinach ravioli and used Alfredo instead of marinara you should give it a go.

    Pro tip: Reserve a little cup of the pasta water for splashing if needed instead of regular water. It’s a little starchier from the pasta which will make your sauce extra creamy when added.
    Vegan tip: Nutritional yeast can be placed with a small amount of creamy nut ‘cheese’ for that cheesy / umami added taste if you want it to be vegan. It won’t be the exact same but still a good taste if you’re vegan. Also butter can be replaced with a blot of oil + nutritional yeast OR just Earth Balance.

    Try german (bavarian) bread- or prezelsoup !
    Sauté a ton of finily sliced Onion in Butter, ad beefstock (or water and bullion cube), majoran (how is it called in english ? Not quite sure) or chives and - old bread or prezels, sliced in cubes.
    Let it simmer till the bread is lightly soft and eat up.
    Filling, hearty and perfekt to get rid of old baked goods

When I came back, two fruit fly gnats were swimming around in my Wine, chasing each other like they were having a relay race in the glass. 🙄🤦‍♀️, Lol!

      What kind of butter are you buying? The cheese I can somewhat understand (albeit, that’s assuming you’re picking an expensive cheese you don’t need) but a tablespoon of butter is relatively cheap. Or even margarine.

      Cheryl H, don’t tell him. It is not recognizable as zucchini. When my son snuck a taste, he thought it was eggplant. He likes everything, but he did not realize that it was zucchini. He loved it. It is incredibly sweet, even though no sweetening agent is added. Enjoy!

I used 8 good sized yellow summer squash, I had a new size head of broccoli with half the stem, a LARGE Vidalia onion, 4 cloves of fresh garlic and fresh oregano, thyme, sage and parsley. Cut all into small dice and cooked with a bit of veg stock, olive oil, black pepper and salt. Just mashed and added 1/3 cup of parm/pec/Asia go blend. I. Am. So. Happy!😂 This is amazing. Thank you, Emmy!!!💜

      Slow cooked, sweet, reduced. Not "fast". There are many times in life where faster is absolutely not better.
      If you'd want a cheap/easy alternative, I'd go with a crock pot over an instant pot as an instant pot would be entirely *too* fast and the flavors wouldn't even be similar.
      A crock pot for 8-12 hours would create flavors more similar to the original dish, would avoid heating your kitchen thereby reducing cooling costs, and crock pots use only pennies worth of electricity.

    Speaking of childhood recipes I think I've got a perfect one for you to try!
    I grew up in Poland and it's very traditional to have a two course meal as dinner, them being served one after the other.
    The first is always a soup of some sort (you should look into Rosol soup) and the one that follows usually consists of a type of meat, a potato dish and veggies on the side.
    My mum's way of jazzing up cauliflower and making it super tasty for my brother and me to eat(granted not exactly that healthy but it was definitely a treat once in a while) she calls it the 'naughty cauliflower' .
    This cauliflower dish would go perfectly alongside goulash (or 'gulasz') or chicken 'kotleti'. She boiled the water for the cauliflower, added milk to the water which in turn makes it more creamy and much sweeter. Once the cauliflower is cooked in the milky water she would make a 'crumb paste' by melting butter onto the pan, adding breadcrumbs and some flower and mixing that on heat to create a paste. She then roasted sunflowers and lastly put the crumb paste and the sunflowers onto the cauliflower.
    DELICIOUS!!
    I think I've made myself hungry just thinking about it.

    I did mine in a rice cooker. Cut up zucchini, splash of water and a few garlic cloves. Stir after 20 mins. Stir again once it pops to warm. Done in about an hour. Caveat: You need a non stick inner pan as there will be some scorching but if you stir more often, you can avoid it. Salt, pepper, sugar and some bouillion powder to taste. Top it with some optional olive oil. So delicious!
