Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine zucchini and onions in a large stockpot. Cover with water, and boil until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Drain in a colander, pushing firmly to extract all the liquid.

  2. Step 2

    Combine the Gruyère, ricotta, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the vegetables, mix well and adjust the seasonings. Butter a 3-quart casserole and fill with the squash mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Uncover the casserole and bake on middle shelf until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Disappointing. Too many vegetables to too little Cheese. And boiling the zucchini and onions takes out the flavor AND nutrients. Better to roast the onions and zucchini, then mix with cheeses and bake.
