Zucchini Noodle Casserole Recipes

ZUCCHINI NOODLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, saute enough zucchini to fit in the skillet with 1 teaspoon garlic until zucchini is slightly browned and softened, 3 to 6 minutes. Repeat with remaining olive oil, zucchini, and garlic. Transfer cooked zucchini mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Whisk marinara sauce, yogurt, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until sauce is warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sauce over zucchini mixture in the baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and a pinch of Italian seasoning over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes.

ZUCCHINI PASTA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a small skillet, saute vegetables in oil until tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in the bread crumbs, salt and pepper; cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in pasta. Pour into a greased 1-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 10 minutes or until heated through.

CHEESY TUNA AND ZUCCHINI NOODLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place spiralized zucchini (zoodles) into a pot and cover with well salted water; bring to a boil. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes, then empty into a colander to drain. Let drain for 2 to 3 hours, occasionally pressing out as much moisture as you can.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch glass casserole with cooking spray and add drained zoodles.
• Bake zoodles in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add cream cheese and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove zoodles from the oven and pour off any liquid. Add the skillet mixture to the zoodles, along with tuna, peas, Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Sprinkle almonds on top.
• Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

ROASTED ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Toss zucchinis and onions in a large bowl with olive oil until evenly coated. Spread vegetables into a large baking dish.
• Roast vegetables in the preheated oven until golden, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
• Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until sauce is hot. Spread hot marinara sauce into the prepared baking dish, followed by penne pasta and zucchini mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese atop vegetables.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
