ZUCCHINI RICOTTA PASTA SKILLET (COOKING FOR 2)
A one-pot pasta that strikes that hard-to-find balance between creamy and light, this meatless meal is satisfying without weighing you down. Fresh ricotta is the base for a silky and comforting cheese sauce, and zucchini brings texture, color and flavor that complement the pasta. Finish the dish with basil and lemon juice at the end of cooking for a bright pop of flavor that makes this dish memorable (and worthy of repeating)!

GROUND BEEF ZUCCHINI SKILLET MEAL
From Simple & Delicious magazine May2006. I really enjoyed this recipe as did my DH but my kids did not like it. I'm posting this anyway because eventually they will move out and I won't have to hear their complaints! =) ***Updated ingredients*** I've made this again and my DD did too and we both feel it needs a bit more sauce - so I've adjusted the original recipe to include tomato sauce.

This is great to make when you have a bumper crop of zucchini; however fresh zucchini can be purchased year round. Easy, quick to make! Great with crusty bread and a salad.
