Spoon a thin layer of the tomato sauce mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and top with zucchini slices and then a portion of the meat. Repeat the layers until you have used up all the ingredients, finishing with the tomato sauce. Bake the casserole until it's bubbling along the edges, about 25 minutes. Serve hot, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese if you like. Recipe by Mark Bittman Parent's | October 2014 MM Format by Dave Drum - 31 October 2014 Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
