For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-shredded. Feel free to customize this casserole with your favorite additions! Diced ham, cooked ground beef, sautéed mushrooms, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes would all be delicious. To prevent the casserole from browning too quickly, you can tent it with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. If you are using very watery zucchini, you may want to salt the slices lightly and let them drain in a colander for 30 minutes before adding them to the casserole. This will help remove excess moisture and prevent a soggy casserole.
