Full flavor, rich, easy to make. This is a great use for those zucchini that got too big in the garden before you noticed them!

This was very good. I think it might be a good to freeze and a good way to save some zuchinni through the winter. I only used a very little bit of butter to saute the onions and I used fat-free half and half, so it can be very healthy.
