Ingredients:
6 slices day old French bread
3 cloves garlic
2 medium zucchini
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
salt and pepper
Directions:
Dry the bread in the oven for about 10 minutes, while you preheat it to 350F.
Remove bread from oven.
Halve garlic, and rub each half onto a slice of bread.
Slice and chop zucchini and garlic (the same garlic that was used to rub bread), and steam for 15 minutes, or until very tender.
Transfer to a bowl, and mash well.
Add ricotta, salt and pepper, and mash well again.
Spread over bread and bake 15 minutes.
Note: A tasty variation is to add a bit of parmesan cheese to the mixture, maybe a bit of basil.
