Mingle Mangle (Warm Zucchini Salad)

Very good. The recipe says it serves 4-6; 6 would be very dainty servings.

This dish really is a salad, with the zukes tossed in a hot creamy sauce, finishing up rather lukewarm.

It could be served as an starter, maybe served in small shallow dishes. It could be sered as a proper side. We had it on the table as a side, but ended up eating it separately after the pork and polenta (which really wasn't conducive to a saucy side on the same plate). My husband suggested it might make a good pasta sauce, and I think he might be right here. The cream sauce would be very nice with a pasta-with-shape, gemelli, fusilli, etc. This will be its next appearance on our table, maybe even in this zucchini season, where we're struggling to use the bounty from our garden.
