Ham & Zucchini Italiano
Total Time: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.，Makes: 4 servings
I strongly believe dinner should be three things: healthy, delicious and simple. With fresh zucchini, ham and marinara sauce baked with mozzarella, you can accomplish all three in the time it takes to describe the dish to a grateful family. —Madison Mayberry, Ames, Iowa
