Zucchini and mushrooms

I didn't defrost any meat last night and hubby was out so I threw together some veggies and the result was very good and on the lighter side too.

You'll need:

2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup bread crumbs, seasoned or unseasoned whichever you prefer
1/2 cup grated parmesean cheese

Set oven on broil. Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet. Add zucchini, mushrooms, salt and both kinds of pepper (use pepper according to your own taste and likeness to heat) and saute until golden brown. Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes or so. Combine bread crumbs and cheese and sprinkle on top of vegetable mixture. Broil for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Serve as a side dish with your favorite grilled meat or try it over pasta.
