Ingredients:

How To (Zucchini Cake):

1. Begin by shredding the zucchini, either by hand or with a food processor.

4. Place on a well greased baking pan and make one even layer.
5. Cook this at 350 for about 30 minutes until golden and fully cooked.

How To (Green Machine Sauce):

1. Member that bowl of liquid we drained off? Pour that into a pan and get it to a low boil.
2. Once reduced, add some pepper, very little garlic, and basil.
3. Once it begins to get a little thicker, add the butter
4. Once butter has melted, add the lemon juice.

How To (Assembly):
