Ingredients: 3 medium zucchini, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch slices; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 teaspoon dried basil; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1/2 pound smoked deli ham, cut into strips; 1 cup marinara or spaghetti sauce; 3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

I strongly believe dinner should be three things: healthy, delicious and simple. With fresh zucchini, ham and marinara sauce baked with mozzarella, you can accomplish all three in the time it takes to describe the dish to a grateful family. &mdash;Madison Mayberry, Ames, Iowa


Ham & Zucchini Italiano

zucchini,

olive oil

basil

salt

pepper

smoked deli ham,

marinara or spaghetti sauce

mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 450&deg;. In a large skillet, saute zucchini in oil until crisp-tender. Sprinkle with basil, salt and pepper.

Place half of the zucchini in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Layer with half of the ham, marinara sauce and cheese. Repeat layers.

Bake, uncovered, 10-12 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Serve with a slotted spoon.

Absolutely delicious! When sauteing the zucchini, I added diced onion and seasoned with garlic powder and black pepper. I switched the basil to italian seasoning and doubled it. This turned out amazing! Wish I had some crusty italian bread to soak up to sauce because it did get a little watery from the zucchini. Will be making this again and again! Thank you for a great recipe!

For some reason, mine came out tasting like a barnyard. That was the exact smell. I had to rate it a two star because I am not sure if it was the recipe or just the age of the cheese I used or the my own frozen zucchini. It does have an interesting mix of ingredients, but mine was just yuk.

This has a light feel to it for dinner, but tastes good.  Definitely a summer dish!

Have made it many times and enjoy itwith crusty bread for a light fall meal!

It's a smiple dish you can dress up with other things like mushrooms. It was great!

My mother-in-law introduced this meal to us and we loved it!  To make it a bit more filling we added rotini noodles into the dish.  We also use yellow squash with the zucchini because they work so together (and our garden runneth over!)  In the end, we always have enough to make a 9x13 dish instead.  Delish!!
