This was lovely. I used fresh tomatoes, it took a long time to peel them. Next time I would use tinned tomatoes for speed. Served with homemade garlic bread. Yummy. - 01 May 2012
Easy and quick to make, I was v surprised by how nice this was myself but everyone loved it especially the kids. Since I've started using this site the kids say first thing when I get home from work: 'thanks for making us dinner mum!' before even hello. I used 2 packets of 125g mozzarella for this recipe because I put it in a larger tray, plus I added a whole red pepper when frying the onions. I served it on baked elfe potatoes. You can probably add other vegetables like mushrooms etc to the mix. Its cheap too if you buy from lidl the cheese cost 45p per packet and the tomato pasta sauce was 70p. So its a cheap, quick, healthy dinner that the kids love (even the one who is suddenly professing to hate all vegetables) - 26 Mar 2018
I had made this on Saturday, did not soften the zucchini as directed but saute them with the onions and garlic, added fresh sliced mushrooms, transferred to baking dish, layering as I did this and sprinkled on Parmesan Cheese, 3 slices of Julianne Swiss Cheese, and Mozzerella cheese with a 1/3 jar of Bertolli mushroom spagetti sauce with Merlot. It was just enough and it was just right. If you let it set after baking like lasagna it will absorb the water from the sauce. Also I had sprinkle bread crumbs on the top before baking. Will be making this again and again. Very good. Thank you. forgot I had also added fresh basil from the garden. - 01 Jul 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
