I liked this a lot. The others not so much, but it's something I'll most likely make again anyway. It's different and easy and doesn't involve tomatoes like most zucchini recipes. (I love tomatoes but mix it up a little!) I didn't puree the zucchini, just sliced it thin and into halves. I also used more then the recipe called for since 1 lb of zucchini cooks down a lot, I used about 1 1/2 lbs = 3 zucchini. I'll definately use hot pepper jack next time around. Thanks Barb!

I really enjoyed this dish. It took a little while to prepare though. I changed the zucchini to summer squash, and it was delish.
