This was a little too bland for our tastes, although I really do love eggplant and zucchini. I think more fresh herbs such as oregeno, basil, or sage would give it the right kick. Also, I would spread it across a baking tin so that the vegetables get a little bit crispy, as well. I served it with a side of rice mixed with some leftover bolognese sauce, which complimented the casserole very nicely.
