Simple and delicious! I can't remember exactly which magazine I got this from--I've had the recipe for so long, but I think it was Parents, or Parenting.

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 slices day old French bread
3 cloves garlic
2 medium zucchini
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
salt and pepper

  • Dry the bread in the oven for about 10 minutes, while you preheat it to 350ยบ.
  • Remove bread from oven.
  • Halve garlic, and rub each half onto a slice of bread.
  • Slice and chop zucchini and garlic (the same garlic that was used to rub bread), and steam for 15 minutes, or until very tender.
  • Transfer to a bowl, and mash well.
  • Add ricotta, salt and pepper, and mash well again.
  • Spread over bread and bake 15 minutes.
  • Note: A tasty variation is to add a bit of parmesan cheese to the mixture, maybe a bit of basil.
