Zucchini Parmesan: What to do with 5 lbs. of sub-prime summer squash.

Yesterday afternoon I returned from a week away to find a dozen summer squash in my fridge. It wasn't the best-looking lot — not pristine enough to make this raw salad or this spaghetti — but it was still absolutely fit for consumption.

I knew just the recipe to make with that 5-lb. collection of neglected courgettes: zucchini parmesan. When roasted and layered between homemade tomato sauce and parmesan, and topped with a layer of crispy bread crumbs, no one would know the days of those summer squash were numbered.

This is one of my favorite ways to put a heap of summer squash to good use. Find the recipe here:
