Cover with foil & place on parchment covered baking sheet. Bake 35 minutes. Remove foil & bake until golden, 5 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Cook's Note: I like to pre-cook the zucchini a little to soften; use fresh basil in place of dried; substitute summer squash or use both; split the linguine mixture into thirds to have two layers of vegetables inside. Adjust points value to increase to 8 servings or decrease to 4 servings depending on your appetite.
