Ingredients:


3/4 pound pasta -- shaped (fusilli -- orecchiette or conchiglie)

5 small zucchini -- 1/2-inch slices

1 teaspoon salt and pepper

28 ounces Italian plum tomatoes -- drained/chopped

8 large black olives -- sliced, up to 10

3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese -- freshly grated

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary sprigs

1/2 pound mozzarella cheese -- cut in 1/2 cubes
 

Preparation / Directions:


Cook pasta in boiling salted water. In a large frying pan, heat oil and saute zucchini until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to an oiled shallow casserole dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. When pasta is almost cooked, drain and add to zucchini. Add tomatoes, olives, Parmesan, rosemary and 1/2 of the mozzarella. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper if desired and gently mix together. Cover with the remaining mozzarella and bake until cheese is melted and the top slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
