This is a very flavorful change from the everyday zucchini recipes I make. As we all know, when zucchini is abundant, it's easy to run out of ideas! I will make this again for sure.

Made this for Christmas dinner vegetable so tripled the recipe. Everyone loved it!!! I did add more of the lemon pepper seasoning and pesto than the recipe called for. I tripled what it called for and then kept adding until I thought it had enough flavor. I also added fresh parmesean on top and it looked so delish when it was all melty.

Fantastic. I'm always looking for ways to prepare my overabundant zucchini from my garden each year. Very flavorful.
