The Monterey Jack cheese is surprising in this Italian dish but it works better than Italian cheeses, in my opinion.
Ingredients:
2 -3 zucchini, unpeeled and sliced
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 (15 ounce) jar marinara sauce (or the equivalent amount of homemade)
1/2 cup red wine
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon basil leaves, crushed
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese (4 ounces)
Directions:
1. Saute zucchini in 3 Tablespoons olive oil until lightly browned; drain.
2. Place in 1-1/2 quart casserole.
3. Combine marinara sauce, wine, remaining oil, garlic, basil and oregano in small saucepan; stir well.
4. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Spoon sauce over zucchini; mix well.
6. Sprinkle cheese over sauce; cover.
7. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.
