Vegetali al Forno… what is that, you may ask… Its basically a vegetable casserole, that happens to be delicious. Serve as a meatless, vegetarian meal or as a side dish. Its great for this time of year, especially if you are vegetable gardener. I took a look at my vegetable garden today and realized I needed to get going on using up some of the zucchini I am growing. 😉 This recipe works for that, plus if you are growing tomatoes and eggplant too. Enjoy!
- 1 eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/2" slices
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced in 1/4 inch slices
- 4 large fresh tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3/4 lb sliced mozzarella
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
