Zucchini Parm

A tasty alternative to pasta and a great way to get your 3-5 servings of vegetables!  I will probably boil the zucchinis less next time because they were a little too soft for my liking, but still a good dish!

I used PAM instead of olive oil (by habit), but I think the using EVOO for sautéing the onion and garlic is a good way to add some healthy fat to the dish.  I added some Trader Joe's Sausage-less Sausage to kick up the protein and layered it on top of the zucchini/onion/garlic mixture.  I also ended up using less than 16 oz. of pasta sauce - probably only 6-8 oz. - and I used Ragu 7-Herb Tomato because it was the only thing I had in the pantry.    Finally, I topped with about 1/2 cup mozzarella - it did an adequate job of covering the casserole.  I served with a side of whole wheat bread topped with some Sicilian seasoning.


P.S. - tastes good when reheated too :-)
