My nomination for zucchini dish of the year

I can't stop making this vegetable lasagna. Devra's earlier blog about our colleague who hates zucchini prompted me to go straight home and make it (actually, I made three, because I love to cook in quantity).

The dish consists of layers of zucchini, summer squash, and tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil and fresh herbs. I use a mandoline to slice the zukes and squash, which only takes minutes, and a good serrated knife on the tomatoes. After layering, cover the top with grated hard cheese (Gruyere is ideal, cheddar works too). After it's cooked, slide the dish under the broiler for a few seconds so the cheese browns and makes that layer taste like a fine pizza.

Here's the recipe, in case you missed it in the Food section.
