Provided by Ali Maffucci

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 strips bacon (or omit and sub with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil instead)
1 small yellow onion (sliced)
2 large garlic cloves (chopped)
4 medium zucchinis (chop 3 of them and leave the remaining one whole)
2 cups chicken broth (low sodium (or use vegetable broth if making vegan))
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
½ cup packed fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large pot and put the heat on medium. Let cook until crispy and transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Immediately add the onion and cook until fragrant and onions are translucent. Stir in the garlic and let cook for 2 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they start to soften. Add the broth, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat and then once boiling, reduce to low heat and let simmer, covered for about 15 minutes or until when you fork a zucchini cube, it mushes easily.
  • While zucchini cooks, spiralize the zucchini on Blade D and trim the noodles with clean kitchen shears. Set aside.
  • Pour the cooked soup mixture into a blender and add the basil and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust with more salt, if needed.
  • Divide the soup into bowls, top with zucchini noodles and crumble over the bacon. Season with extra pepper and serve.

This is from my neighbour and good friend, Ronnie, who is mother to five great kids. They all love this concoction and so do we. It serves 6-7 unless it is put in front of our former French exchange student, Emma. In that case, it serves one.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces zucchini, shredded
1 large onion, chopped finely
6 -8 ounces lean bacon, in 1/2-inch dice
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup self-raising flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
5 eggs, slightly beaten with black pepper (see next item)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Before you start, you need to know that, you can speed up the preparation time if you use a food processor to grate the cheese and zucchini, and chop the onion.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients -- in the order listed. Mix well after each addition.
  • Put everything in an 11" x 7" pan. A 9" x 13" pan works, too.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Check the bottom. It sometimes browns faster.
