MOM'S ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a large casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large pot boil salted water and add zucchini. Cook for 5-7 minutes. Drain in a colander in the sink until needed.
• In a large skillet melt butter. Add onions and carrots. Saute until tender. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
• In a seperate bowl remove 1 1/4 cups of the stuffing mixture and set aside remainder. In a large bowl combine mushroom soup, sour cream and 1 1/4 cup of the stuffing mixture. Add onion mixture and stir until blended. Add zucchini and stir gently until coated. Dump into your prepared dish.
• In a medium sized skillet melt butter and add remaining stuffing mixture. Saute until browned. Spread over top of the casserole. Bake for 35-40 minutes.

LIGHTER ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400F.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan. Sauté the onion in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another 30 to 60 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant.
• Cut each tomato into 3 to 5 pieces and add to the oil, along with the herbs, salt, and pepper.
• Cook over medium heat until the liquid is mostly gone (but not dry), stirring occasionally-you should end up without about 1 cup of the mixture. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the zucchini into slices approximately 1/4 inch thick. These can be either round slices, or lengthwise. Take the largest slices and line the bottom of a 9x9-inch or 8x8-inch pan, or a similarly-sized round pan.
• Spread about one-fourth of the tomatoes on top of the zucchini, followed by one-fourth of the cheese.
• Continue layering the sauce, zucchini, and cheese. It should come out to four even layers. Hold off on the final layer of cheese.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Top with the rest of the cheese, and lower the temperature to 375F. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown.
