Level One
Pro/Fats
Serves 4
1 medium zucchini
1 meduim crook neck (yellow) squash
1 medium red bell pepper
1 medium green bell pepper
1 8oz can tomato sauce (no sugar added)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp minced onion (dehydrated) or 2 diced green onions
1 tbsp dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chop all veggies and place in microwaveable casserole. Pour tomato sauce over the top, then sprinkle evenly with spices, minced onion and parmesan.
Cover container and microwave on high for three minutes or until veggies are softened to your taste (I prefer mine al dente)
If you prefer a crispier, cheesy topping, cover and bake all but the cheese for 20 minutes at 350°F in a preheated oven. Add cheese topping and bake uncovered for ten more minutes.
I do this with all different kinds of veggies and top it with a variety of cheeses. It's very quick and works well with almost any meat entreé.
