Instructions

Directions

  • Slice zucchini and onion with a knife or mandoline Buy a Mandoline here and set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix together melted butter, grated garlic, basil, salt and pepper, set aside.
  • Start layering the zucchini in the bottom of the casserole dish like pictured above. When you get the first layer down sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, then a sprinkle of mozzarella and fresh parmesan, and a few slices of onion (putting smaller amounts of cheese in-between the layers and saving a larger amount to go on top.)
  • Repeat layer with zucchini, salt, pepper, and cheeses and onion ending up with the remaining of your cheeses on top. ( You should end up with 3-4 layers of zucchini depending on how big your zucchini is.)
  • Pour the melted butter/spice mixture evenly over the top.
  • With a spoon, place dollops of marinara along the edges of the dish.
  • Cover and bake 45 minutes.
  • Uncover, turn on the broiler and cook under broiler for 5-10 minutes or until nicely browned.
  • Enjoy!
