Eat This Now: 8-Ball Zucchini

More fun at the farmers' market... my produce girl recommended these lovely 8-ball zucchini. What veg lover could bypass such adorable little squashes?

Besides boasting a beguiling green skin, they also have a satisfying heft in the palm. (No squash tossing allowed, kiddies.)

The name is whimsical fun, but in fact, these little babies are closer to the size of a baseball than an eight.

Produce Girl likes 'em sliced, fried and used in sandwiches, on pizza, in wraps, etc. Online, dominant theories seem to lean toward scraping out the insides and stuffing 'em. They'd be fab with a ratatouille, but here's a handful of other fillings to try...

Orzo Stuffing
Sausage & Fennel Stuffing
Feta & Basil Stuffing
