BAKED YELLOW SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• On medium heat, toast the breadcrumbs in a pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt until golden-brown, stirring often. Set aside.
• Trim the ends of the squash and slice thin, about 1/8" to 1/4" thick.
• Toss the sliced zucchini with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and let season and drain in a colander for five to 10 minutes.
• Coat the bottom of a casserole pan or baking dish with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Ladle one cup of marinara into baking dish and spread over the bottom. Scatter the diced onions over the marinara.
• Without rinsing the summer squash, shingle in a circular pattern around the casserole. Bake, loosely tented with foil, for about 30 minutes, until fork tender.
• Remove the foil. Top the zucchini and yellow squash with another cup of marinara. Top with the shredded mozzarella, then the breadcrumbs, a generous pinch of salt, and bake -- uncovered -- for an additional 30 minutes, until the squash is soft and everything is melted and bubbling. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

ZUCCHINI WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Remove the ends of the zucchini and, if they are large, cut in half lengthwise. Slice the zucchini diagonally in 1/2-inch slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat, until they start to brown. Add half the zucchini, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, tossing occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until just cooked through. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove to a serving platter and repeat with the rest of the zucchini. Serve immediately.
• Note: If you cook too much zucchini in one pan, you end up steaming rather than sauteing it. I prefer to cook it in 2 batches.

• Place in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the zucchini is cooked through.

• Reserve half of the cheese for the top of the gratin.
• Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of the thyme over the onions in the gratin.
• Starting at one end of the baking dish, lay a row of slightly overlapping tomato slices across the width of the dish and sprinkle with a little of the cheese.
• Next, lay a row of zucchini, overlapping the tomatoes by two-thirds, and sprinkle with cheese.
• Repeat with a row of squash, and then repeat rows, sprinkling each with cheese, until the gratin is full.
