I love zucchini! It’s so versatile: raw or cooked, from fritters to cakes, there are so many ways to enjoy it. So since summer is just around the corner I decided to share one of my favorite way to cook zucchini. This Parmesan Zucchini Casserole makes the perfect side dish for any meal. The best part? You can easily add other elements to make it more appealing to your whole family. Other kind of cheeses, such mozzarella, bread crumbs on top, and even leftover rotisserie chicken. Since zucchini has a tendency to become watery it okay if you notice that the sauce has a little too much liquid after baking; you just need to let the casserole to sit for a few minutes. I hope you try this recipe soon, and I’m sure it will quickly become a favorite in your house!
