Zucchini

This is one heck of a cake on so many levels. For starters, nobody is ever going to guess there's zucchini in here, because it virtually disappears in the baking—there's not even a hint of vegetable flavor or nubbiness that you might expect from grated zucchini. What you will notice is what a moist cake this is, maybe the moistest chocolate cake you've ever had.

No matter what time of day, these delicious baked eggs made with tangy kimchi and fresh summer squash are a delightfully flavorful dish.

No, you don’t have to tear the zucchini with your hands, but it makes for a cool presentation—and we all know it’s way more fun than using a knife.

This summery, Greek-inspired dinner comes together in a snap with the help of a grill basket.

When cooked long enough, the squash gets jammy and saucy, ideal for coating big pieces of pasta, like paccheri or ziti.

This simple pasta delivers big on bright summer flavor, and gives you a good excuse to work through some of that zucchini surplus.

Zucchini "noodles" keep this fragrant curry soup gluten-free. The spiced lamb meatballs are just as good in a wrap or on a salad.
