Boy I loved this dish! Easy to do and such wonderful flavor! Served this as a side dish but it would be great as a meal over pasta. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for the Top Favorites of 2009 event

Like how quick and easy this came together. The only change I made was to warm the tomatoes. Next time will make a little extra so that I can take the leftovers to work for lunch. Thanks for the post.

Simple and delicious... can't beat that! I put the cheese by the grill so that as soon as the zucchini came off, I could sprinkle them with cheese so it would melt. I sprinkled the tomatoes, which were at room temperature, over top, and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing!

Great way to use up that squash overflowing in the garden! I made last night for DH and I using the broiler and the times listed. I didn't like my tomatoes cold so I put my bowl under the Hi broiler for about 2 minutes, which allowed the cheese to get golden and warmed the tomatoes up nicely. Quite filling and very easy to put together. Thanks!

Good, easy, healthy. Although the directions didn't mention if the tomatoes are to be hot or cold; I'd recommend warming up slightly so the parmesan will melt.
