   If freezing the zucchini for this recipe, take the diced zucchini boil in the water for 3 minutes and then place into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the cooled zucchini and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place baking sheet into freezer. The next day bag the zucchini in a couple labeled freezer bags. Then at a later date, thaw the zucchini. Drain any excess water. Then continue with the recipe as listed above.

   You can make this recipe without parboiling the zucchini first, but you will need to add more baking time to the casserole.
