I liked this - I REALLY liked this and so did everyone else. It was made as a side dish for grilled steak, but we couldn't keep our hands off. My sugggestion is to be sure and use the fresh grated parmesean cheese as opposed to the powdered stuff in a box - the taste is definitely worth the extra effort. Great recipe - thanks for posting!

Quick, easy and delicious. I used olive oil instead of melted butter. Thank you Midwest Sunshine. I will be making this again.

Wow! What a great treat for so little effort! I even sliced my zucchini lengthwise to save time. I will be making these again and again this summer. Thanks for sharing a childhood memory!

Very comforting, and so good! The best part of this is the parm cheese, of which, has to be fresh! Good and easy to put together, and so tasty! I added a bit of garlic, and it was so great! Thanks for posting!

Yum! Brushed on the butter and just sprinkled the parmesan and that worked great. 8 minutes was perfect.

Pretty tasty! A little bland but a great, quick veggie side for an alternative to the standard veggie side dish. Next time I will add some cajun seasoning or maybe I will dredge it in italian dressing instead of butter and then coat with parmesan.
