I like squash & zucchini but my husband doesn't so I am always looking for different recipes. Because some reviews complained of blandness I used canned diced tomatoes with basil, oregano & garlic instead of sliced tomatoes. I covered it and cooked it for 20 minutes and then used a bulb baster to remove excess liquid, covered it and baked for another 15 minutes, removed more liquid then baked for a final 15 minutes covered. It was cooked through and not to soggy. My husband liked it alot and is actually looking forward to the leftovers.

My husband really liked this dish. I think I added too much pepper. I added both black pepper and banana pepper. I did not add butter between each layer because that seemed too unhealthy instead I added just a little veggie oil (maybe 2-3 tbps) between the middle layer. I also used parmesan cheese throughout and sharp shedder on the last two layers. I used italian spiced Mrs. dash between layers which gave the dish great flavoring. I think the dish needed too many adjustments for 4 stars, but it was good.

great way to use squash and zucchini! I didn't use the tomatoes because I didn't have any, but i think it would have made this dish a 5 star for sure! thanks for the great recipe.

Delicious! I added in two roasted poblano peppers and the flavors went excellent. On the advice of one of the other reviewers I did add some garlic powder between layers. I don't know how good it would have been without the fresh vegetables - but certainly worth trying again.

This is a very delicious dish. I have made it twice. The first time I made it, I followed the instructions and layered the squash, zuchinni, onion, and tomatoes. Then I read the "pats of butter between each layer" part. Too late to do that. So the second time I made this I kept that in mind. I also did not slice the zuchinni lenthwise the second time, and it was much easier to eat with them sliced as regular slices.

After reading other reviews, I added oregano and basil for more flavor, topped the vegetables with bread crumbs, and decreased the butter. I still, however, found this to be too soupy and lacking in flavor.

Very yummy! I made a few changes for our family's taste. I used Mozzarella cheese instead of Ricotta, used half the amount of butter and sprinkled garlic powder on each layer. I save the leftover juice and use it as a soup base or steam my other veggies in it.

eh ... missing something.

A few things, this recipe yields far more than 5 servings, as I ended up having to go to a second casserole dish. Also, do not cover it as the juices won't evaporate and therefore it will be really watery when you get ready to serve it. Also, this isn't really ideal for a vegetarian as it is really difficult to call a serving of this a meal, it's more of a side dish. With that being said, it was simple to make, and was tastey. I just needed to bake it again without it being covered so that I could get rid of some juices. It really did taste great. In the future if I make it I'll make it with rice on the bottom.

my husband and i loved this--very good, and different!!

My family & I did not like this at all. It was very bland and the veggies did not cook all of the way. I love squash & zucchini and I was very dissapointed when we tasted it. It looked great when it came out of the oven, but it just had no flavor at all.

This was pretty good, although it tasted a little bland to me. I made a few changes to the original recipe (eliminated the butter, used asiago cheese instead of romano, substituted white onion for the vidalia, and added canned tomatoes along with the fresh ones)...maybe it would have been better if I hadn't changed so many things.

This was really good. Will definately make again.

Simply delicious.

This is a great meal option with a great taste and will add a little bit of a change to your diner table. Great with bread to dip the extra sauce in.

My new years resolution this year is to eat healthier and I decided the best way to do that is to reduce the amount of meat in my diet; so I'm not really a vegitarian. This was the first dish I tried and I'll say I wasn't too enthusiastic when I was preparing it because it really didn't look that good, but it was GREAT! I was so impressed and I feel so much better about trying other dishes.

A very simple dish to prepare. I added oregano and a few other spices to add flavor. I made it for a friend after surgery when she couldn't get around and she loved it, too. The more tomatoes the better to make it nice and juicy.

I cut way down on the cheese and used no butter, and this still turned out delicious. I'm not even really a fan of zucchini - I made it for my husband as he likes it - and now I finally like zucchini, too! I also recommend using a can of stewed tomatoes in addition to one fresh tomato. It's a very nice blend of veggie flavors.
