Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Chop the cauliflower into small florets.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sautΓ© the minced garlic for 1 minute, being careful not to brown it.
Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
In a buttered baking dish, layer the cauliflower and zucchini slices evenly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir until the butter completely melts, then add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Pour the cream mixture over the vegetables, making sure everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving for a burst of fresh Italian flavor.
