Zucchini E Pomodori Gratinati (Zucchini And Tomato Gratin)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Move oven rack into the top third of the oven.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and spread the zucchini slices into the skillet in a single layer. If they don't fit, cook them in batches. Sprinkle pieces of garlic over the zucchini, and cook until the zucchini are golden brown on both sides, about 8 minutes per side. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Arrange the slices of zucchini in an 9x12-inch glass baking dish, alternating with slices of mozzarella cheese and tomato, so that the slices overlap each other in a neat row pattern. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and basil over the dish, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and brown and the dish is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
