CRISPY ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE
Ingredients:
4 c. mixed zucchini & yellow squash, thinly sliced
1/2 c. yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/2 c. basil pesto
1/2 c. marinara sauce
1/3 c. panko bread crumbs
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing and drizzling

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and brush the bottom of a 9x12-baking dish with olive oil.
2. Set the sliced squash on a kitchen towel to drain some of the excess moisture while you prep everything else.
3. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini & onions with the pesto.
4. Layer the baking dish with the marinara sauce, followed by the zucchini mixture. Spread the zucchini into one even layer.
5. Sprinkle the top with the panko, Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil & pinches of red pepper flakes. Bake until the zucchini is tender (but not mushy) and the top is crispy and lightly browned - about 25 minutes. (You can turn the broiler on for the last few minutes to help the topping become browned and crisp.)
6. Remove from oven and let cool 20 minutes before slicing.
