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.

TOMATO GRATIN-POMODORI GRATINATI

Steps:

• PREPPING THE TOMATOES
• Slice the tomatoes in half. Carefully scoop out the tomatoes pulp making sure you don't puncture the tomatoes. Reserve the pulp in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle a pinch of salt into the scooped out tomatoes. Line a rack with paper towels (or a baking pan)and place the tomatoes upside down (salted side down)on top of the paper towel to let the drain while you prep the stuffing.
• PREPARING THE STUFFING
• In a food processor or a blender, add some of the tomato pulp (about 1/2 cup of just the pulp, not the seeds). Add in the garlic, parsley leaves, basil, and 4 Tbsp of the olive oil. Give it a pulse until it's smooth. Add in the bread crumbs and bread (I had a sourdough loaf and used the inside of this really great bread). Add salt to taste (I added about 2 tsps).
• Line your baking dish with parchment paper. Drizzle a little olive oil in the parchment paper. Place the tomatoes in the dish and fill them with the stuffing. Drizzle the gratin stuffing of each tomato with a little more olive oil.
• BAKE TOMATO GRATIN
• Preheat oven to 350° Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the heated oven. Bake the tomato gratin for 30 mins. Remove the foil paper and bake about another 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
