Zucchini originated in the Americas and was taken to Italy during the 1600s. The Italians loved it and used it in all sorts of Italian dishes. When the Italian immigrants came to the United States, they brought back the zucchini, as well as their wonderful recipes, with them. Though almost tasteless, zucchini grows like a weed. For this reason, you might be surprised at how many dishes zucchini pops up in: casseroles, soups, omelets, cookies, cakes, breads, etc. Cooks try it in everything, trying to keep ahead of the ever-producing zucchini plant growing in their gardens.
