Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (1 ounce)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
5 cups reserved Quick Meat Sauce (from Gnocchi with Quick Meat Sauce)
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
2 zucchini or summer squash, very thinly sliced
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and 1 tablespoon oil. In a large cast-iron skillet, bring meat sauce to a rapid simmer over high. Stir in rice and remove from heat. Top with onion, then carefully arrange zucchini in a single, slightly overlapping layer. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil, and top with breadcrumb mixture. Return to heat and bring to a simmer. Cover with foil and bake 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake until rice is cooked through and breadcrumbs are golden, about 10 minutes more. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
