GARLIC PARMESAN ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 1 ½-quart baking dish; set aside.

After 10 minutes, squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini. TIP: In order to make sure that you get most of the water out of the zucchini (and avoid a runny casserole), wrap the zucchini in a dish towel. Squeeze it and wring it out multiple times while it's in the towel -- you will be shocked by how much liquid comes out!
