ZUCCHINI PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.
• In a shallow, medium bowl, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, and oregano. Set aside 2/3 cup of the mixture.
• Place 2 egg whites in a small bowl. Dip zucchini slices in the egg whites, then coat with the bread crumb mixture. Arrange coated slices on the prepared baking sheet, and bake 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned.
• In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, parsley, and the remaining 6 egg whites.
• Spread 1/2 the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer with 1/2 the zucchini, 1/2 the ricotta mixture, and 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining bread crumb mixture.
• Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Serve warm.

BAKED PASTA WITH CREAM AND PARMIGIANO REGGIANO

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500°F In a large pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. In a large bowl, combine the cream with all but 2 Tbs. of the cheese, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and white pepper to taste.
• When the water is boiling, salt it generously and add the ziti. Undercook the pasta slightly so that it's a bit toothier than al dente, 1 to 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain well.
• Add the pasta to the cream mixture. Divide among four individual shallow ceramic gratin dishes (6 to 8 inches wide). Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and dot with the butter.
• Bake until the pasta is bubbly and hot and the edges begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Don't overbake or the sauce may separate. Let rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
