    One of the other members made the comment that "fat is fat". Not true. This is a very "Heart Healthy" dish. 1 TBL of Olive oil contains 13.5g of tot fat, 0g of trans fat, 1.1g of poly-unsat fat, and 9.9GM of MONO-SATURATED fat - the fat that clears your arteries of cholesteral. Heart or calories? - 11/17/09

    I like this a lot - I add some italian seasoning to the crumb top mixture. I like a little less olive oil in the recipe but I know it needs to be there nonetheless...Did You Know That your body needs some kind of fat similar to olive oil to properly extract the nutrition from vegetables? :-) - 8/6/08

    I recommend you cut the oil in half at least, and substitute the Parmesan w/1/2 the amount of the stronger-tasting Asiago. - 7/5/08

    What a great dish! I fixed this with Crispy Ranch Chicken (another SP recipe) and added garlic toast for a very hearty, delicious and healthy dinner that everyone raved about!!! - 12/8/09

    There is an awful lot of fat grams for an all veggie recipe if this is correct, this is way to high for my household, even if some of it is with evoo. It sounds so tasty I am going to work with this and get the fat grams down because my famiuly will definitely enjoy this - 3/28/09

    The flavors all complement each other so well! What a tasty easy to do dish. I'll use less cheese next time as I felt it was too much topping. I also used a lot less OO. I used my Misto instead of drizzling! - 3/24/09

    I think I might try but put try the spray olive oil (like PAM) to limit the fat. Although a good fat, fat is fat. - 7/5/08

    108 of the calories are from fat? I know this is a good fat (olive oil), but doesn't this still sound high? - 7/5/08

    I put this recipe in my cookbook. My husband really liked it. I used skim mozzerrella because that is what I had on hand. I can really see how you can substitute ingredents and still have a full flavor meal. - 1/5/10

    I made this tonight to clean up my vegetable drawer - I had everything on hand but the zucchini. I used up my Parmesan and Romano cheeses, too. It was great! - 3/24/09
