After a long time, it's time for another recipe! And not just a regular recipe, no, for once it's a dinner recipe. I've had moments before where I cooked something and people around me said 'you should share it on your blog', but I always said no. Why? I wanted my blog to be about baking (hence the title) and not cooking! And I honestly love baking a whole lot more than cooking. But I've been living on my own since September, which means A) I have less time to bake, and B) I need to cook for myself!



Cooking for myself is more fun than I thought! I've gotten pretty good at getting in my veggies and cooking something fresh for myself every single day (although I ate pasta every day this week, but shht). The only thing I still have a problem with, is going to the store. You could probably best describe me as an unchaperoned child in a candy store. Yep. I always end up buying a ton of food that looks nice (also a lot of veggies, don't worry mom), so at the end of the week, I'm faced with a lot of things that have to be eaten. That's also how this recipe was created!

I had a zucchini in my fridge that I didn't really know what to do with, I had some pesto and I had some pasta sauce. The pesto was quickly eliminated, because neither of the combinations looked appealing to me. But zucchini and pasta sauce? That could work! I always have cheese in my fridge too, because you never know when you might need it. Oh, and always 2 kinds: parmesan cheese & grated emmental. Choosing isn't possible. Zucchini + pasta sauce + cheese? Kinda looks like a healthy pizza! You could always add some salami or anything else if you like, but this is basic, budget proof and easy.

I would recommend cooking the zucchini in the oven first, so it gets a little softer. I didn't do it myself and it was still delicious, but it was a little hard. I love that you don't need a lot of ingredients for this recipe, but it is very filling and it looks fancy as well! If you use an entire zucchini, this recipe will feed 2 people - or can be eaten both for lunch and dinner, as I did. Please let me know whether you like recipes like these, so I know if I can do them more often or not!
