Ingredients

    1.5 cups arborio rice
    2 Tbs olive oil
    2 large onions (about 8 ounces each), finely chopped
    3 medium zucchini (about 6 ounces each), chopped
    3 Tbs chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 Tbs dried
    2 large cloves of garlic
    salt and pepper to taste
    3 eggs, lightly beaten
    3/4 cup parmesan cheese (calls for freshly shredded, I used grated)
    1/4 cup milk
    3 cups marinara sauce

Directions

Makes 6 main dish servings or 8 side dish servings (calculated for 6 servings)

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 10 inch pie plate

Boil rice for 8 minutes (will not absorb all the water, or be fully cooked). Drain, no need to rinse.

Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Cook onions until soft (about 3 minutes). Add zucchini, 2/3 of the rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Add partially cooked rice, eggs, 1/2 cup of cheese and milk to the skillet, mix well. Transfer to pie plate.

Bake for 35 minutes or until set and beginning to brown.

Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Bake 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted.

Heat marinara with remaining rosemary to simmer. Cover, remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes.

Cut pie into slices and serve topped with sauce.
