Verdure al Forno

By Giada DiLaurentiis

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 medium zucchini, (about 1 1/2 pounds) sliced lengthwise, 1/4-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated mozzarella
1 cup grated fontina
1/4 cup grated Romano
1 cup plain dried bread crumbs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

This is a wonderful recipe that I made for a birthday celebration.  Everyone loved it and could not get over that zucchini was used instead of lasagna noodles.  And we all know that zucchini tends to come all at once in the garden so this is a good way to use it up.  Enjoy!
