Zucchini sauce is a versatile, nutrient-rich condiment or pasta topper that highlights the mild, earthy flavor of zucchini. Commonly rooted in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, this sauce typically features finely chopped or pureed zucchini sautéed with olive oil, garlic, onions, and sometimes tomatoes or fresh herbs like basil and parsley. Some versions include cream or cheese for added richness, while others remain light and plant-based. Zucchini itself is low in calories and packed with vitamins like A and C, potassium, and fiber, making the sauce a healthy addition to your meals. When prepared with olive oil, it also provides heart-healthy fats. However, cream- or cheese-heavy recipes may increase saturated fat and calorie content. Ideal for pairing with pasta, drizzling over roasted vegetables, or using as a dip, zucchini sauce brings flavor and a dose of nutrition to your table.
