Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan over a low heat and cook the onion and garlic for about 20 minutes until soft and golden. Spread over the base of a 12-inch shallow baking dish.

Cut the tomatoes crossways into 1/4 inch thick slices. (if the tomatoes are very large, cut the slices in half). Cut the zucchini diagonally into slices about 1/2 in thick.

Arrange alternating rows of zucchini and tomatoes over the onion mixture and sprinkle with herbs, cheese and salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, then bake for 25 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Serve hot or warm.
