- Yields 4 servings, each 2 c., each 208 Calories according to my old notes.

- NOTES : I found which the zucchini took much longer than 5 min to become edible, that means which, I either need to slice the zucchini more thinly or possibly cook it
- I tried this out Sunday night and shared the leftovers Monday night. The sauce of lowfat milk, grated cheese, and dry basil made the dish seem higher in fat than it was, but I think I may add in more basil next time for a stronger flavour.
