Agata's Zucchini al Forno

Yellow Squash & Green Zucchini

Here is an easy baked zucchini dish that is the height of simplicity. I make it often at home because it requires little effort and because my family love it. This dish has a great cheesy, soft consistency perfectly contrasted with a nicely browned crisp top layer.

Serves: 6-8
Ingredients:

2 small yellow squash, sliced crosswise into thin disks

2 small green zucchini, sliced crosswise into thin disks

2 medium onions, sliced into thin rings

½ cup grated Parmigiano cheese

1/3 cup bread crumbs

3 tbs. unsalted butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl with 2 tablespoon of the butter cut into chunks.
Place in baking dish and dot with last tablespoon of butter, cut into chunks. (You can sprinkle a little more Parmigiano cheese on top at this point, if you like).
Bake for 45 minutes until ingredients are cooked through and top is lightly browned.
