Zucchini Pasta Bake Recipe

My neighbor’s garden is overflowing with zucchini and I’m of course always glad to get some off her hands. Here’s one of the recipes I’ve been making with it. The pasta bake with zucchini makes a nice hardy meal that’s a big hit with the kids. (I guess all that pasta and cheese distracts from the fact that there are veggies in there).
Zucchini Pasta Bake
Ingredients:
2 zucchini, sliced
12 oz. tomato sauce
3 cups Rigatoni
6 oz. Mozzarella cheese, sliced
1 tsp olive oil
Handful of shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 350F.
Cook pasta according to package instruction, then set aside.
In a small saucepan, boil a small amount of water. Add zucchini and cook until tender. Grease a baking dish and layer 1/3 of the Rigatoni, tomato sauce, cheese and zucchini. Continue layering until you have three of each. Cover with shredded cheese and add a sprinkle of olive oil.
Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.
