Directions

  • Starting at one end of the dish, lay a row of slightly overlapping tomato slices across the width of the dish.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • Next, lay a row of zucchini, sprinkle with cheese.
  • Then a row of squash, sprinkle with cheese and continue the rows, sprinkling each with cheese until the dish is full.
