Cooking with Chet - Italian Style Zucchini Casserole - This quick and easy vegetable dish was one of my wife’s favorites, she made it often for our family and dinners guests, usually served as a side dish to meat or chicken. You can prepare this dish a day or two before serving and then reheat and add the cheese when you are ready to serve. If there are any leftovers, you can be sure this is also very good served on top of pasta!
