Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the zucchini is tender.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to maintain the cheese quality.
