Zucchini Parmesan

Teresa Ambra
This lovely vegetable dish is great for Meatless Mondays. It's filling, satisfying and wonderful comfort food. Zucchini is breaded with Italian bread crumbs and then baked until tender. Then the zucchini is layered between spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese. The result is phenomenal!
