Wikipedia
The zucchini () or courgette ( or is a small summer squash. Along with some other squashes, it belongs to the species ''Cucurbita pepo''. Zucchini is the more common name in North America, Australia and Italy, while courgette is more commonly used in Britain, Ireland, France, New Zealand and South Africa. Zucchini can be yellow, green or light green, and generally have a similar shape to a ridged cucumber, though a few cultivars are available that produce round or bottle-shaped fruit. In a culinary context, zucchini is treated as a vegetable, which means it is usually cooked and presented as a savory dish or accompaniment. Botanically, however, the zucchini is an immature fruit, being the swollen ovary of the female zucchini flower.

I am the one who added the zucchini ribbons photo. I just wanted to add that zucchini is the English word for the vegetables. In Italian that means the plants in plural. So when you go to an Italian page (like mine written in English) search on zucchine as well as zucchini and you will find many more recipes. I've published perhaps 30 or more already (partly because they're FREE.)
