Low in calories and a good source of folate, zucchini, and other tender summer squash are inexpensive and easy to find all summer long. Look for small to medium-sized squash for saut\u00e9ing or grilling, but you can most definitely use those big ones for zucchini bread, zucchini fritters, and zucchini soup (just use a box grater and place the grated zucchini in a clean dishtowel \u2013 squeeze out all the excess moisture and then add your recipe).<\/p>\n<p>Also known as&nbsp;<em>courgettes<\/em>, these vegetables are so versatile and are popular nowadays as a gluten-free,&nbsp;&nbsp;very low-calorie substitute for regular wheat-based pasta noodles. You do not need any special kitchen equipment or tools to turn your zucchini or yellow squash into \u201czoodles\u201d \u2013 just use a good vegetable peeler to create long strands of squash that you can lightly saute or steam, or use raw with pesto or a nice fresh tomato sauce.
