Cheesy Zucchini Bake is a flavorful veggie dish that is a great way to use up those extra zucchini’s from the garden or to add greens to any meal!
With zucchini season coming up, and my kids being obsessed with the yummy vegetable, I decided to throw this together with a pasta dish I made last week. The kids loved it, and my hubby and I even went back for seconds.
The Basil really enhanced the flavor and the garlic/cheese made this a new favorite veggie dish. Whether you serve this at a cookout, bring to a picnic, etc….this is one dish that everyone will love.
Fairly healthy, minus the cheese, you won’t have to feel guilty about going back for seconds, or even thirds!!
