My garden is starting to produce and nothing makes me happier. I love being able to go out there and grab a few items and whip something up. Since I have an abundance of basil I wanted to incorporate that as well. I’ve been using it left and right lately in order to use it up before the Japanese Beetles destroy it.
This dish is awesome since it uses up one of those vegetables that everyone is always looking to find new recipes for, zucchini. I think zucchini recipes are ones I am always asked for so I thought I’d share this with you. It’s easy and familiar and oh so healthy, without losing any flavor factor. Enjoy!

Hi Maeghan! Like you I’ve been trying to use as much fresh basil from my garden as I can. I made a BLT pasta salad and the fresh basil really came through! I used up all my available zucchini yesterday canning relish, but I will definitely try this soon! We have had a bumper crop of yellow summer squash this year – I think they would work here also.

We’ve only just begun with the squashes, but I’m starting the canning of the cucumbers. Next up is the zucchini. I love this time of year!
