I plant zucchini every year, and we always seem to have more than we can use! This recipe is a particularly delicious way to use our abundant crop.

Not bad...but a little bland and very watery! Wasn't bad, but I wouldn't make it again.

I omitted the flour, since I'm avoiding carbs. Which made the final result a little watery, but it was still delicious.

I've made zucchini lasagna, but never used the flour as in this recipe. I'm sure it will make the end result more firm and manageable
