Layered Zucchini Parmesan
This dish is the ultimate crowd-pleaser! It combines layers of tender zucchini, tangy tomato sauce, and rich, gooey cheese. Seriously, it’s so good, it might just make you want to throw a dinner party just to show it off. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 3 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds
- 2 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade, we won’t judge!)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that baby nice and toasty!
- In a skillet, drizzle a bit of olive oil and sauté the zucchini rounds over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Just enough to take away that raw crunch!
- Grab a baking dish and start layering. Begin with a good spoonful of marinara sauce on the bottom. This is the foundation of flavor! Then add a layer of zucchini, followed by a dollop of ricotta.
- Time to bring in the big guns! Sprinkle some mozzarella on top and repeat the layering process until you’ve used up all your ingredients. Finish with a generous layer of marinara, mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Cheese lovers, rejoice!
- Once you’ve built your zucchini mountain of goodness, pop it into the oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. If you want to get fancy, turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes, but keep an eye on it—no one likes a burnt offering!
- When it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes (as hard as that may be) so the layers can settle and fuse together into a cheesy masterpiece.
- Slice it up, serve hot, and enjoy your amazing creation! Trust us, everyone will be back for more, and you’ll be the star chef of the evening!
