Grilled Zucchini with Basil, Parmesan and Pepitas

This recipe is perfect for using those extra large zucchini.  The slices are large enough not to slide between the grates on the grill, and they cook to tender perfection.  When using smaller zucchini, slice lengthwise.  Garnish with tomatoes or nasturtiums for color.
