Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups zucchini
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the zucchini and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the mixture to reduce slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom and slightly up the sides of an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust.
Spread the zucchini mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust.
Top with the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
