  • 3/4 pound pasta, small shaped
  • 5 small zucchini 1/2-inch slices
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 28 oz can Italian plum tomatoes drained/chopped
  • 8 to 10 black olives, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, cut in 1/2' cubes

Cook pasta in boiling salted water.


In a large frying pan, heat oil and saute zucchini until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to an oiled shallow casserole dish.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


When pasta is almost cooked, drain and add to zucchini. Add tomatoes, olives, Parmesan, rosemary and 1/2 of the mozzarella. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper if desired and gently mix together.


Cover with the remaining mozzarella and bake until cheese is melted and the top slightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Mmmmm. That reminds me of a similar dish that I make. I add diced pancetta and onion to mine then toss in fresh chopped tomatoes at the very end just to warm them slightly and hubby hates black olives so can't use those, lol. Thanks for sharing!!
