Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh or canned diced tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)

2 cups zucchini, sliced

1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)

1 cup yellow onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup fresh spinach or kale, chopped

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or dairy-free alternative)

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

      Sauté Other Vegetables: Add the zucchini and bell peppers to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes until slightly tender. Stir in the chopped spinach or kale, allowing it to wilt. Season with dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

        Layer the Casserole: In a large baking dish, spread half of the diced tomatoes evenly at the bottom. Add the sautéed vegetable mixture on top of the tomatoes. Layer the remaining diced tomatoes over the vegetables.

          Add Cheese & Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Finally, generously cover the cheese layer with breadcrumbs.

            Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

              Serve: Once out of the oven, let the casserole cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve warm.
