Fantastic Flavor and easy to make!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I serve this recipe about 6 times a year and it is a favorit. Adding some yellow squash makes the dish even more colorful.

Mouth waterning!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What luscious dish!!! It has everything--Zucchini AND cheese = YUM!!! This is the dish at my Thanksgiving table EVERYONE... was asking for the recipe and I gave proper credit; thank you Neely's!! Due to some digestion issues and dietary preferences, I did make an alternation here and there like I used 8oz of organic tomato sauce instead of stewing the whole tomatoes, and I used a Tblspn of onion powder instead of the whole onion...and in place of grated parmesan, I grated pecorino romano...and increased both cheese to 1/2 cup.Read more

Good use of such a bland vegetable
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe was not only easy and fast but it was tasty too. After mine came out of the oven it did have a bit of water but... it was fine once I did not spoon it onto the plates. I also topped mine with some ritz crackers that I crushed, after the cheese was placed. The texture and consistency is really good. This was a good alternative to my regular sauteed zucchini side dish. I will make this dish again. Thanks Neeleys!Read more

Nice side veggie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this as a side dish for Thanksgiving. Everyone seemed to like it. It was a little watery, but I believe that could... be taken care of by stirring in some dried bread cubes before baking to soak up the liquid. I would like more tomatos in the mix too. I will serve it again.Read more

Excellent Side Dish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for a dinner party last night, and it was a big hit. Followed all the recipe ingredients except used 1 teaspoon... dried thyme leaves in place of the fresh. I did saute the zucchini quite a bit longer than the 7 minutes suggested to get them a little more tender before baking. This also seemed to cook off the extra liquid that others seemed to have issues with. I can't understand how some reviews are claiming tasteless and bland. Very good flavor and not too sweet at all. Will make again and again.Read more

Tasty but watery
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I made this recipe and stayed faithful to the recipe. It was tasty but the consistency was off; ended up with a lot of water... in the dish. Would love to try it again, but I may have to tweak it to make it work. Read more
