A great recipe for using up that fresh zucchini. This recipe taste almost like lasagna. Very tasty and quite different to say the least. It's easy to put together and gets a lot of people wanting the recipe because they have many more zucchinis they just don't know what to with. You can also brown a pound of hamburger and add it to the spaghetti sauce if you choose.
