Zucchini-Mushroom Cheese Bake

This vegetable-heavy cheese bake is a quick and easy dinner that’s close enough to ziti or lasagna that the kids will love it. And replacing pasta with nutritious vegetables wins you the healthy-chef-of-the-year award, presented by me. Enjoy! A Food Fight, Round 3 Recipe.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. Slice zucchini in your food processor to get very thin slices. Toss zucchini slices with cottage cheese, egg, half of the shredded cheese, and basil cubes. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.

3. Uncover, add sliced mushrooms, and top with remaining cheese.

4. Bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until tops get golden and bubbly.
