# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 3 medium zucchini, diced
02 - 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, chopped
03 - 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped

→ Seasonings & Spices

04 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
06 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Garnish & Toppings

07 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
08 - ½ cup plain breadcrumbs

→ Optional Extras

09 - Red pepper flakes
10 - Other herbs (basil, oregano, parsley)
11 - Roasted butternut squash (for fall)

# Instructions:

01 - Wash and chop all the veggies. Dice the zucchini, chop the tomatoes, and mince the garlic. It’s therapeutic, honestly.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
03 - In a large bowl, combine sautéed onions and garlic with zucchini, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly.
04 - Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
05 - Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese. This adds texture and helps absorb excess moisture. I like to pat them down gently.
06 - Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until zucchini is tender and cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

# Notes:

01 - Don’t overcook the zucchini!
02 - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
03 - Other cheeses like parmesan or provolone work well.
04 - Serve with a simple side salad or crusty bread.
