small courgettes, a bit more ricotta than suggested, maybe a bit of smoked bacon and a bit of chili pepper...perfect dish: alone with a salad or to accompany grilled lamb. We love this recipe

A decent side dish, but needed plenty of salt. I think finely grated parmesan in amognst breadcrumbs might have helped, and perhaps some vine tomatoes squashed in too.

Made this to use up some rather large courgettes from the gardens. We all loved it. Takes minutes to prepare and comes out the oven crispy and tasty.

Be careful though with your choice of cheese if you want a 'cheesier' flavour, Parmesan is NOT vegetarian.

I have Courgettes and Mascarpone in the fridge can I substitute or should I go shopping?
