can be made into a casserole or individual dishes, ricotta has no relevance to the fiesta part...it was simply in my kitchen when this happened so it became part of the recipe. This recipe has no seasoning because I didn't feel it was necessary, however cilantro or salt would probably be a good idea if you like seasonings.

Tips:

  • Select the right zucchini: Choose firm and unblemished zucchini that are deep green in color. Avoid zucchini that are yellow or have soft spots.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the zucchini.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the zucchini, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the zucchini until tender: Zucchini should be cooked until tender, but not mushy. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the zucchini to taste: Once the zucchini is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
