Quick Zucchini Relish

A simple small-batch relish is a good way to turn abundant zucchini into something more creative than the typical side dish. The single-jar yield means you don't have to process it in a boiling water canner – just refrigerate it in an airtight container. Serve the relish with grilled chicken or pork, on grilled burgers or sausages, or even in place of salsa with tortilla chips.

Garlic Scape and Zucchini Blossom Pasta

This simple, gourmet seasonal pasta is so quick to make that it's perfect for busy nights. Zucchini blossoms are very delicate, so it's best to add them at the very last minute. Look for tightly closed bright yellow blossoms that are free of blemishes and use them within a day or two, because they don't last long in the refrigerator.

Goat Cheese and Zucchini Crustless Quiche With Grilled Corn Salad

Quiche often made its way onto my family's weekend menu as I was growing up in France. This crustless version is a welcome twist during summer, when you don't want to spend too much time indoors making dough. It also makes a fantastic brunch option. Just be sure to wring out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini and spinach, so the quiche doesn't become soggy. – Jennifer Bartoli, Food specialist
