In regards to the Mac and Cheese recipe. What does the Zucchini do to the recipe? Will it be horrendous w/out?

I really don't like zucchini.

Thanks for the tip to use creme fraiche in mac 'n' cheese. I had some homemade stuff that needed to find a tasty home: http://eatcheapeatwelleatup.com/2009/09/08/you-fraiche-thing/

Yum. Tonight I made blueberry creme fraiche ice cream. It was amazing.

I used the zucchini when I made it and I think it helped also with giving the casserole a bit more moisture. Next time I will probably double the amount, since once shredded it cooks away to almost nothing and you can't really taste it (IMHO).

@Chanteuse: The zucchini is there simply because whenever I make anything that is purely white (as in carbs and cheese), I convince myself that adding a vegetable will lighten the situation. Misled, I know, but I also just really love zucchini with thyme and cream. But all means, leave it out, or replace it if you like with broccoli florets or cauliflower or even prosciutto. I hope you enjoy it!
