Summer courgette casserole
Adapted from allrecipes.com zucchini herb casserole

I know the words summer and casserole don’t usually go together, but this dish has such lovely light flavours that it’s perfect for warmer weather. It’s also quite quick to make, so great for weekday meals that don’t want to be too fussy in their preparation.
