### How to Make White Zucchini Parmigiana

**1. Prepare the zucchini:** Lightly salt the zucchini slices and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.

**2. Sauté the garlic:** Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.

**3. Assemble the layers:** In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Layer zucchini slices on top, followed by dollops of ricotta (if using), a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan, and a little marinara sauce. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan.

**4. Bake:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

**5. Garnish and serve:** Let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil before serving.
