ZUCCHINI E POMODORI GRATINATI (ZUCCHINI AND TOMATO GRATIN)
A quick and easy vegetarian dish for two, or a starter for 4, or even a side. A rustic Italian favorite, taught me by my Roman friends. If serving as a main, then crusty bread, torn off the loaf by hand, and a green salad with a lemon and/or lime vinaigrettey dressing cannot be bettered.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Move oven rack into the top third of the oven.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and brown and the dish is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Slice the tomatoes and zucchini into 1/4-inch thick round slices, as uniformly as you can. On a cookie sheet or ovenproof platter, overlap the tomato and zucchini in a decorative pattern, like red and green shingles on a gingerbread house. Blend all the dry ingredients together, then scatter them evenly over the tomatoes and zucchini. Sprinkle the olive oil on top and bake in a 375 degree oven until golden and crusty, about 20 minutes. Present the platter or sheet at the table, using a cake server or metal spatula to slide several overlapping pieces onto each diner's plate.;
Tips:
- To save time, use a mandoline or food processor to slice the potatoes and zucchini thinly and evenly.
- If you don't have a mandoline or food processor, use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes and zucchini as thinly as possible.
- Be sure to season the potato and zucchini slices generously with salt and pepper before layering them in the baking dish.
- If you want a more flavorful gratin, you can add some grated Parmesan cheese or Gruyère cheese to the breadcrumb mixture.
- To make sure the gratin is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the gratin is done.
