Ingredients:


3 1/2 cups zucchini -- coarsely grated

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup flour

3 large eggs -- lightly beaten

2/3 cup parmesan cheese -- grated

2 tablespoons fresh basil -- (2 to 3); minced or- 1 tsp dried basil

1 teaspoon salt and pepper

1 jar spaghetti sauce

1 cup your own toppings: peppers -- onions,mushrooms -- anchovies
 

Preparation / Directions:


Place zucchini in bowl and lightly salt. Let sit for 15 minutes and squeeze out all the water that is rendered. Roll in a towel and twist again. This is to remove all possible water. Mix with rest of ingredients in a bowl. Spread on a well-oiled baking pan and bake in a 350F oven until top is dry and lightly browned (20 minutes). Brush a little oil on surface and broil a few minutes--but don't burn. Spread with spaghetti sauce, 1 cup mozzarella, and any toppings. You may, of coarse use your favorite cheeses. Return to oven and bake at 350F until done. About another 20 minutes. I also just recently read that the smaller zucchini have the sweeter, better flavor. This is from Mr. Newman's, Newman's Own Cookbook, and is a literary delight as well, as his sterling wit is evide
