Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the diced tomatoes, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the mixture to reduce slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom and slightly up the sides of an ungreased 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust.

Step 7

Spread the zucchini mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust.

Step 8

Top with the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
