Can all of you good folks who like food and cooking recommend me some recipes or things I can do with two dinosaur-sized zucchini? Let's rule out anything obscene right now. Sticking it where the sun won't shine will only make the zucchini rotten

They are good in pasta sauce as well.

Although I would steer clear of the Alfredo.

I'm not a big fan of the alfredo. It's marinara and pesto all the way!

Do you make your own pasta sauce, and if so what do you like to put in it?

Yup, make my own. Pretty standard, but damn good.
I don't use recipes, I just wing it, but here's the gist;
The ingredients vary depending on whats in season, but basically...
Tomatoes, tomato paste, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, onion, every color of bell pepper you can find, fresh garlic, parsley, basil, parsley, etc.

Make sure you use a big pot, you'll get quite a lot of sauce from this.

Season to taste, but I like to give it a bit of a kick, so ground red pepper and paprika are key to me, kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper also add a bit.

Bring it to a quick boil then simmer for about a day (2-3 hours minimum) stirring occasionally.
and there you have it.

For those who like meat, fresh hot Italian sausage instead of ground beef is nice.

Like a mad scientist, I make my own too. That is why I was curious how you did yours.

I like mine thick and chunky!

And you add a little more chunk than I do. I also throw in artichoke hearts, but I don't use the peppers.

I saute up my garlic and onion first to get it nice, soft, and golden. I hold a couple cloves of garlic back for a little kick.

And then the rest is similar to yours. I like to make it when I need to clean out the refrigerator and use up the goods.

I saute the onion and garlic first, as well, however I do it with the meat, so I left that bit out :)
